This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Salutations to Mayor Khan. The arrival of the hydrogen bus to join the electric bus fleet of 500 vehicles. Number one in Western Europe, and made totally in the UK by British factories. Thanks to him, London is becoming a greener healthy place in fact its air pollution is transformed. I can remember asthma and pea-soupers, pollutio, years of GP visits, now the difference is quite amazing. But it is only a start and there is scant sign of a green revolution anywhere else. How the tories are feeling this labour achievement.

Certainly is the tories are not going to do anything about it.

Why does SDK get salutations for that? Khan takes credit for this but blames the government for TFL have to be rescued before it went bankrupt. Just like Wee Jimmie they want it both ways all successes are their's any failures blame the Tories.

Khan threatening to bring in a commuting charge from the outer boroughs I can't believe he is serious about this if he is even the most passionate Khan supporters wont vote for him. As for the Tories they could shave a monkey and pin a blue rosette on it and it will get in next time. Its partly TfL is going bust, despite Central Govt bailing them out to the tune of £4b, plus he wants to close the Bakerloo line completely & axe up to 200 bus services. Gotta love Sad Dick Khunt & Labour.

If only I could think of the reason he gets so much stick.... Central Government still screwing TFL, but that doesn't fit the agenda!

In January 2020 before COVID really hit home the markets down graded TFL debt not quite to junk bonds. TFL was in a serious financial hole before COVID was even mentioned. In Khan's first election campaign he promised not to raise fares despite the Tories announcing that TFL would lose £700m in state aid. Before he was elected every opponent and even independent travel experts said that Khan's numbers did not add up. Not only did he not reduce spending he actually increased it, COVID has had a huge impact on TFL finances but he is using that as a shield for his own incompetence. Free travel for children, free travel for over 60 but not yet official pension age (that's me) subsidised travel for various groups e.g. unemployed. Does anyone actually pay full fare?

Had a hilarious situation on a bus where the driver wouldn't let me pay two fares on a card. Utter madness. Obviously rude driver who I just laughed at.

Yup I had that one with a friend from oop north I had to use 2 different cards. Khan seems intent on not putting up fares and punishing the motorist. Free travel for kids is great but when you are in a big hole something has to give. Before I got my Oyster 60+ card I used to moan that I was probably the only person on the bus paying a full fare.
