What really annoys you about London transport?

As you are probably all aware, I seem to have more problems on buses and trains than anyone else – so this is something close to my heart. I am fed up of ridiculous arguments with bus drivers about accepting “real money”, and being charged large amounts of money for a transport service that is, ...

Have you ever lost a shoe?

Whist walking up the left hand side of the magic moving stairs at Oxford Circus underground, my shoe fell off. Everyone moved out of the way to allow it the freedom to bounce and spin all the way to the bottom. I then had to ride the rest of the way to the top and back down the other side to retrieve said shoe wit...

Recent TFL figures show a 91% increase in the number of people cycling on London’s major roads since 2000. Sounds impressive, until you realise that cycling’s overall ‘share of journeys’ compared to walking, car, motorbike, tax, bus and rail across Greater London is less than 2%. Our affable and shambolic mayor recently expressed a desire to go beyond TFL’s 2025 target of 5%. Why so? Well, it’s estimated that another 800,000 more souls and 400,000 more cars will be added to this fair city by 2025, placing further strain on our infrastructure.
