ok it is gas-mains and the pipes are pre-victorian and better a traffic jam than an EXPLOSION which destroys my the nice ppl in bank but SHEESH i am made grumpy by the way the buses are solving the problem of the angel bottleneck -- 90% of the 38s stopping at mildmay tavern where NO ONE IN THE WORLD WANTS TO GET OFF even when the (always misleading) robotgirly voice on the bus still says "38 to victoria" inside

the drivers are all in a foul temper also which is understandable but hardly helps the atmosphere

also why do 2-pound coins rarely work in the ticket machines

What gets me is, why do all the roadworks across London start at the same time? (MC says it's w/budgets and getting a quota of work done whether it is needed or not.)

I hope your 38s run smooth soon, by that time we can visit I'm sure :-) but also :-( for the time spent waiting

for years after privatisation roadworks weren't co-ordinated at all, so the same street would be dug up three times in as many months, by gas, electricity and water companies: i suspect there may be a "get the entire gridlock over quickly" plan here, in jan when everyone's grumpy anyway -- so as to usher in a golden age of jam-free-ness and take the credit

I think that may be my least favourite things (there are MANY more candidates) about London transport - when you get on a bus, especially after waiting for ages and when late anyway, which says it is going to the end of its route, only for the bus driver to arbitrarily quit halfway there. AAAARGH.

Really the most frustrating thing is the lack of info - you can work around inconveniences if you know about them.

well it isn't actually the driver making the decision, it's some central geezer with a master map

I am now imagining Boris going around the Mayor's Office tousling dicks where-ever he sees them.
