Buses during London Bus Strike 22/06/12

London was stricken with a bus strike on Friday. But, buses were running (although few), thanks to the injunction by Metroline, Arriva Shires and London General.

 A sight on most morning Countdown monitors.

 One route running. Metroline VW1070 (LK60 AEU), on Route 237, at Kew Bridge Station

 In the afternoon, more routes were running.

London United/RATP SP57 (YT09 ZCE) on Route 65, Kew Bridge

 London United/RATP SP65 (YT09 BJV) on Route 65, Kew Bridge

 Crowded 237 bus. And there were 2 buses behind mine. All the same load.

 Metroline VW1066 (LK60 AEN) on Route 237, Turnham Green Church

 Many passengers trying to enter VW1066, which was already crowded.

By the afternoon, stops where no buses were running displayed this.

People were quite annoyed by the bus strikes in many ways, and it did affect a lot of things, such as Tube and National Rail services.


This was obviously a no bus day, but because Metroline was running, practically my whole school was still coming in. However, this proved to be its own undoing, as timing problems with my form tutor meant I couldn't get more than just the pictures here. I planned to go to Greenford/Ealing, but the mentioned timing issues, along with certain friend timing issues prevented me from doing so.
