Has anyone had any problems with anti-social behaviour on the 343 recently? I have reported two incidences involving the same man to the police, who have been very helpful (unlike TFL) and are investigating the issue. The first incident was most distressing and involved repeated sexual and racist comments, the second was not serious but still scary after the first one.


I am fine, but as a lone female passenger I was very scared and felt it needed to be addressed. I believe no-one, no matter what race or gender, should have to suffer abuse. And it is possible the man may need help.


I would be interested to know if anyone else has had problems with anti-social behaviour on this bus, because perhaps some of you know of him?

Hi Meadow


It does but because TFL ignored my complaint for 4 days it will now have been deleted. The police have submitted a request for the second incident to help identify him but the request will, rightly, sit below other more serious crimes so may not be agreed to by TFL. If anyone else has problems, please do report it to the police. The man I encountered always seems to have a can of Tenants Super and is very tall - his head nearly touches the ceiling of the bus.

I thought Racist crimes jumped to the top of the list and HAD to be investigated.


or was that in Mr Blairs day

No the bus driver didn't do anything - TFL tell me they are told not to leave the cab except in an emergency, which whilst that makes me feel pretty unsafe, I do understand. I have witnessed a bus driver being beaten up on his bus and that was awful too. The police have been excellent, and whilst it is unlikely anything will come of the investigations I felt it was important to report it, and this is partly why I have posted on here so that others will do the same, if they come across this man.


Also I would encourage you if you are a passenger on a bus and witness something like this, please ask the driver to call the police or call 101 yourself - no-one else on the bus assisted and as I was on crutches I couldn't get to the driver.


Thanks :)

Bic - I'm not sure but it could be. Was he very tall and quite aggressive? Drinking?


He got on my bus again last night, outside Tesco, this time he was drinking, smoking and shouting. He seems to get on the bus to cause a stir, rather than actually go anywhere.

    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.      
    • In recent consultation on further ED CPZ the majority of respondents were against. Fully appreciate you may not live on a road proposed for CPZ. If you are close to that area it is likely you will be affected by parking displacement if the CPZ goes in. I was just curious what James Barber's position on this is? Perhaps he'll come on here and let us know. He was always really good at visiting the forum.
