London Overground
@ 2008-06-14 – 23:35:50
One of the positive things newt boy did before Boris took over was to take a couple of railway lines back into public ownership as part of the London Overground. Great idea the lines are now on the tube map in orange so lots more people will be aware of them.
However it going to take some time to bring these formerly private lines that have had bugger all money spent on them for years up to scratch. So I can understand why when we tried to get to Camden Lock today there were no trains from Stratford to Dalston. However what I don't understand is why when the replacement bus services are drafted in from outside London, TFL don't give the drivers a test drive so that they know where they are going. I have never in my life been on a bus where the driver had to ask for directions before, nor been on one where the driver can't be arsed to tell folks its the final stop and that they should get off. Although when its a replacement rail service you'd expect the bus to stop at the rail station not around the bloody corner wouldn't you? We had to ask some of the passengers who are more familiar with the route to tell us where the station was.
Still when we got to the station we were delighted to discover that TFL's corporate branders had painted the banister rails a nice orange, shame about the bus though.
