Default Me in London today

So there were no buses in Inner London because their drivers were
"spineless"? For goodness' sake, a bomb had exploded on one earlier,


Read what I wrote. I'm not talking about central london , the police
had
asked the buses to stop there, i know that. But in north london most of
the
buses also seemed have completely stopped. There was no 134 or 263 and
they
go well out into zones 3 & 4. I spoke to some "official" (read kid in
uniform)
and he said the drivers for arriva and some other company whos name
escapes me weren't turning up for work or were simply refusing to
drive.
Bunch of pussies. If myself and loads of other were willing to risk
being
a passenger I don't see why they can't risk driving the things.

drivers were ordered not to drive there and given the traffic situation,


The traffic was no worse than normal in the burbs as far as I could
see.

If it took you that long to walk out of London, how long do you think it
took the next shift of bus drivers to get in to the depots to drive the
buses so you didn't have to walk?

PS They would then have had to drive safely for the rest of their turn even
if they were knackered from walking in!
