I think the problem is that now TFL can track buses on route the controllers can make changes to keep the core part of a route working better when buses are running late, or they can 'regulate the service' (another frustration when you are running late and the bus sits there for 3 or 4 minutes). sadly the controllers can not see how full the bus is and maybe the driver should indicate when asked to vary the route how many people are on the bus so that the controller can make a more informed decision.


Sigh, the iBus system is great at letting you know where you are on the route and what the next stop is, but at the same time it has disadvantages of also letting the controllers know exactly where all of their buses are on the route thus allowing them to change them from an office rather than seeing the reality of what is happening.


Bring back the old routemasters and conductors is all I would like to add at this point...

    • Yes, I think people who don’t use their food waste bin are less likely to vote Lib Dem or Green or Labour as they think it’s a woke type of thing to do, like solar panels and other renewables. 
    • But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.
    • I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
    • Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.
