You may call me MURRAY!

The coffee is also cursed

To be fair in this situation, drivers had full plastic dividers installed during Covid, which were kept afterwards; presumably because it makes them feel safer. This means that there is now a properly sealed “cab” which wasn’t the case before, so the vents in there are now much more important to keep the area cool, and probably aren’t really adequate if you seal them into a box.

In fact, thinking about it it has to be a separate system to the rest of the bus if it was Covid safe. Unless they were just expected to keep the window open? Not sure.

I thought it pretty much already was, aside from early mornings for deliveries.

They could do to better signpost the cycle lanes adjacent too - people still try to cycle down there when it’s heaving with people and there is a decent segregated cycle path (which is almost parallel) on Baylis Road

From my understanding people who apply for and are allocated a space sometimes don’t use it, but refuse to give it up to others on waiting lists.

Pretty sure the Palm Treo had it back in 2003 as well.

And Hungerford doesn’t count. If you count track works that’s akin to road resurfacing (which you have to do way more often than track maintenance) and then you’d have to include every bridge in the country.

It’s supported but buggy as hell. If you have an ipu6 laptop with a MIPI camera, the camera won’t work. Some worked in 24.04 but neither 25.x release nor the 26.04 beta work yet. And for me at least I have a (not my choice of laptop) actually supported with Ubuntu Dell machine.

And even without that, it seems to suffer from random lag - I can’t seem to fathom what causes that at all.

I’ve been told I should have gotten an AMD machine, but this is for work and had to be supplied through an “approved vendor” so I was limited to what they had available.

Security is nice but I would like finished ipu6 hardware support

So perhaps a sudden increase in presence, make an example out of a few people and hope others learn?

I dunno if I’d trust the police to manage that, but I do see the potential.

And yet top of the list of what people seem to want is increased police prescnce?

This is a societal problem. It’s akin to people fare evading or vaping on trains - if they see police they won’t do it, but that’s essentially it. If people think they can get away with something it seems they will, so unless they constantly feel watched we can’t fix this with surveillance / enforcement. And that doesn’t seem like a good solution.

Segregation has also been suggested before for this specific issue and I completely understand the pushback there, for multiple reasons. So that’s not going to cut it either.

People need to understand right and wrong, and seemingly many do not.

I don’t know how to fix that.

Don’t forget that this is all thanks to the Tories cutting TfL’s operating grant back in 2018:

This got me. I noped out of the article because of it

I have random issues with youtube subtitles in general. I often watch foreign language videos, occasionally for learning. Except sometimes whilst they work in the video’s language, the translations don’t…until I reload the page, or quit the browser. Or on specific computers which never have issues. 🤷‍♂️

More trains = more passengers and more passengers = more passenger ”flow” even if it isn’t the same passengers flowing I guess.

But yes, it makes sense…although without significant changes st Camden Town it won’t be plessnt for people who will need to interchange there

Surrey Canal Road

If you need to use adb to set a flag once that’s not too bad I suppose…

It’s operated by GTR, same as Southern, Thaneslink, Great Northern….

So May next year I think that ends.

I can’t see it being removed before then, since it’s presumably quite lucrative for GTR

And if you’re travelling further out, you can change back onto the Bakerloo line at Baker Street.

That doesn’t make sense.

The whole article is very badly written. Seems like it’s either AI or someone who doesn’t understand London.

The BBC article is better:

I saw the photo with a person for scale and I thought…why?
