The Letchworth buses have called at the main bus stop at Hitchin station in both directions for several years. They now go along Walsworth Road then Verulam Road and Bancroft. The main town centre bus stop is on Hermitage Road so those leaving Hitchin turn left at the end and past the Queen...

Stagecoach ran a minibus shuttle between Grasmere and Keswick when the main road was blocked by a landslide after Storm Desmond in December 2015. The 555 had been diverted via the A6.

The University did run a minibus on weekdays in term time from Cambridge station to Madingley hall in the morning and return in the afternoon, mostly for their own staff and students. Though not sure if it is currently running - it stopped during Covid when there were no students on site. If you...

I saw an Arriva minibus running the 97 stotfold to Hitchin service this evening. Looked like a 15 seater or thereabouts. It is normally a full-size bus. Wondering if this is due to a vehicle shortage, or an attempt to save fuel ?

Some of the single fares in Cumbria are much higher than that. I think it was £7 from Grasmere to Windermere station 3 years ago. The day rover ticket isn’t much more than the single.

These buses also serve Lords cricket ground. At the close of play the buses are often full and then cannot pick up again until Baker Street. So it is helpful when several buses arrive in quick succession to clear the crowd at the bus stop. It is a 15 min walk to Baker Street so those of reduced...

The latest BBC update mentions at least 7 hybrid buses are alight. The smoke can be seen from St Albans.

When the 298 used to terminate at South Mimms about 20 years ago, there was one morning when the driver forgot to turn left at South Mimms and was carrying on towards London Colney. Another time, the bus failed to turn into the South Mimms bus terminus. The road after that is a narrow Lane with...

In Dublin the buses leaving the depot say “Entering Service”

The road out of Robin Hood's Bay used by the buses towards Scarborough has a steep hill along Sled Gates with a sharp bend halfway up which is an interesting rider on a double decker ! The road sign on google streetview shows 25%.

The only step-free line at Waterloo is the Jubilee line. The Underground route to Kings Cross using the cross-platform interchange at Oxford circus is not suitable for those who cannot manage the large gaps on the curved Bakerloo line platforms & long escalators at Waterloo. I personally would...
