London buses: one bus at a time: The Number 37 Route
Another route that passes through my life, rarely with me on it.
People with the same name as Tube Stations
I think I like Harold Wilson best

BBC NEWS | England | London | Bendy buses taken out of service
Specifically on the 507 (Victoria to Waterloo). So, big, long capacious bendy buses with plenty of standing room being replaced by standard short single-deckers. I'm not without sympathy to the anti-bendy bus arguments eg fare dodging in Peckham and unsuitability for narrow suburban routes.
But the 507?
It primarily exists for people who work in the area where I do, not particularly handy for any Tube. It's not my regular bus, but I use it when I want to get to Victoria, for shopping, or for onward journeys eg to Barbican or RAH.
I think Boris the Buffoon hasn't thought this one through. So, no surprise there then

London Evening Standard says sorry to its readers | Media | guardian.co.uk
Interestingly, the actual headline says 'to Londoners' while the title says 'its readers'.
I have long regarded the London Evening Standard as not being for Londoners but for those who live in the Home Counties and hate hate hate London.
It would be so weird to read a newspaper which really celebrates London. We shall see.
