#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL confirmed that half-cab double-decker buses are not compliant with the current Bus Vehicle Standard due to front-end safety, #accessibility, and efficiency requirements. The Department for Transport clarified that accessibility laws (PSVAR) do not restrict driver cab design, though vehicles must still meet accessibility standards. In response to a request, TfL stated that Version 2.7 of the New London Bus Vehicle Specification is planned for mid-2026 but is not yet available. The New Routemaster’s design—with three doors and two staircases—was selected via a design competition before safer front-end requirements were formalised. TfL confirmed it does not currently plan to introduce Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems using bendy #buses with driver compartments separated from passenger entry, such as those used in #Belfast, Northern #Ireland and #Brisbane, #Australia.

Holy crap — I’ve never seen this on the #tfl app before. What happened over there? Everyone came to work? All the trains are functioning? No customers mucking things up? Every point is operational? CRAZY!

Drove through the Blackwall Tunnel to Greenwich and back to Islington yesterday.

South of the river it's all 30MPH speed limits and everything feels too fast and scary compared to the sedate and pedestrian-friendly 20MPH limits in the north.

Since I last went through it, it seems the Blackwall tunnel has added a toll.

The TFL website for setting up to pay the tolls is absolutely awful. Failed in Librewolf, Failed in Firefox. Failed because VPN. Took me four attempts in three different browsers to get it to take payment card details.

Demands *no* special characters in the password?!? And doesn't even tell you what the specific problem with the password is, just "doesn't meet the rules above"

Uses awful validation questions like "mothers maiden name". Bad enough practice to use them at all, but the "memorable date" question restricts to ddmmyy format so you can't even put in a date from outside this century.

For some reason asks for a PIN and and Password both!? Pointless. Then actually refuses the login form if you supply both!?

Setting up the auto-payment doesn't seem to have covered the charges added to the registration plate yesterday, so had to do the payment-details entering yet again to deal with yesterday's charges.

Email validation message contains the link only in the HTML of the email, not the text version, so viewed in Mutt it has no link.

And this all seems to be separate from the Dartford Crossing charge, which had a less crappy but still pretty crappy signup.

Good god council programmers suck at web-dev.

"Sadiq Khan has savagely responded to Robert Jenrick’s viral video where he filmed fare dodgers on the London Underground. While accepting fare evasion is an issue, the mayor of London reminded the shadow justice secretary of the “consequences of the cuts in policing and TfL made by his government”. He also mocked Jenrick, suggesting he was an attention seeker for publishing the video, which has gained nearly 15 million views on X."
