Bus accidentsThree weeks ago Councillor Slaughter asked a TfL manager if she had any statistics on bus accidents.

I have known for a long time that riding London buses is among the most dangerous modes of transport and presumably the majority of drivers know that because most take great care to ensure that the elderly are sitting down before moving off.

But not the driver of a 301 last Thursday afternoon who took off like a rocket from the Yarnton Way roundabout stop in an effort to turn me into another TfL statistic.
