...Tim, Sorry, but I'm with SteveB on this one.<br /><br />I care about Oyster cards about as much as I care about Lahndan. Which is not at all.<br /><br />That might begin to change if I hear even one of those spivs actively campaign for a fair country with a just culture. They could start by returning with interest the money stolen over the years from the rest of us to fund their own selfishness (now probably "enhanced" by yet another runway at RatRunRow). The usual bullshit is that it's all "private" money - which just happens to be finance accumulated around the country and then directed to Corruption City. Then there's the throwaway line that "It benefits the rest of the country too" - which is even more bullshit.<br /><br />You know very well there are terrible areas of poverty in this country. And it's getting worse. Even the present Westminster gang have acknowledged a quarter of our population - that's A QUARTER OF OUR POPULATION - are living in poverty. All of this while arse heads like Bullingdon Bozo grin inanely.<br /><br />I despise Lahndan and everything it stands (or grinds to a halt) for. It is everything wrong with our country. And as long as the present spivs rule the roost, always will be.<br /><br />Bus transport is the least of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-71064548247834734682015-07-13T17:21:57.897+01:002015-07-13T17:21:57.897+01:00Steve, as many London buses are cascaded by their ...Steve, as many London buses are cascaded by their owners to subsidiaries outside London - including the Arriva operation that serves Crewe - yes, we should be bothered.<br /><br />Older buses that are still good for a few years' service, although too old for London, help to make marginal services profitable. The Boris bus won't see life outside London, as nobody wants them, which is why TfL had to buy them.<br /><br />And thanks, I do have an Oyster card.

Since London Buses are now basically a private members club accessed by an Oyster Card, which virtually no-one in Crewe has, it really doesn't matter. Let them stew! After all they elected Boris so they've only got themselves to blame. They should consider themselves lucky to have regular buses in the first place.SteveBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-7556851418967744002015-07-13T15:08:24.098+01:002015-07-13T15:08:24.098+01:00You should probably put in the first half of TfL&#...You should probably put in the first half of TfL's helpful tweet:<br /><br />https://twitter.com/TfLBusAlerts/status/619928850928156672<br /><br />(alongside the second half you already have)<br /><br />https://twitter.com/TfLBusAlerts/status/619929357574930432<br /><br />So the whole message is "The new routemasters have had lots of criticism in regards to the air conditioning.
