Freezing.

Hailing.

Windy.

Rainy.

I took the RV1 today and to my despair I realized I had not seen one of those cell fuel buses that used to service the RV1 route in quite a while. What is going on? Where they pull out of the fleet? Aren't car drivers paying the congestion charge to reduce pollution but buses keep using the nasty and dirty diesel engines? Can someone tell me why Transport for London does not keep them?

Apparently we have 8,000 buses in London. 8,000 yes, which equals to a zillion tons of crap.  

I did a quick search to find out this:

BBC coverage of the green buses on the RV1 route

I then went to TFL website and found the following:

Hybrid buses introduced in London 

Still, someone gives me a plan of what is hapenning here.

I passed by the Strand the other day (actually I do it everyday but just to make it a bit more interesting) and saw and old tube station called "the Strand", part of the Piccadilly railway. The station looked quite new (if you compare with the still under use stations) and wondered what hapenned to it. I did a bit of research and found this interesting website that talks briefly about "ghost stations and ghosts lines" and obviously the strand is there. Funny that it closed in 1994 so I had eventually the chance to take it in the past but never did.

Enjoy the reading here
