school buses usually are bangers 
Theres a road near me that has loads of them new speed humps to stop speeding and dying etc. the bus drives straight over them and the back of the bus is thrown upwards and it goes DOOSH!  Its quite fun at the back - bit like a roller coaster |

I've just been asked how to get to Ashstead to Heathrow. I though 'no problem' and after googling saw Ashstead Station come up. I went to the site, expecting it to leap from the page that trains run from 'A' to 'B' passing through the station. I left the site 5 mins later, still no the wiser where the trains come from and go to at Ashstead! Eventually we got there via another google.
Some while ago I wanted to know the times of the trains that run between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey (the 'Bricket Wood Flyer'). When I 'phoned (Network Rail?) I was told that there was no railway between these two locations, and I'd have to go into London and then out again. I gave up trying to explain to them that there was in fact a line and that I'd been on it many times!

My Daughters Car broke down this morning so she had to get a Bus home, she waited 20 minutes at the bus stop which Is just a 30 second walk from my house, she returned soaked and very cold. Fortunately her friend rang her and offered to pick her up and take her home. Public Transport In the Winter months Is a Rubbish way of travelling, I'd rather walk and get wet and usually end up beating the bus home anyway rather than just standing there waiting for a bus that could still be 5 miles away or it doesn't turn up at all. Where have all the Bus Shelters gone, that's what I want to know.  |

Pauline | I take it you will be glad the proposed congestion charge has been quite overwhelmingly been rejected Pauline ... BBC NEWS | England | Manchester | Voters reject congestion charge |

If it had gone thro I was going to suggest all those affected by 'double charges' ie: congestion charge and road tax, should stop paying their road tax - either that or the whole of Great Manchester should go on the dole .... I'm joking of course - but I'm only half joking
