The scale of violence on London's buses is revealed today. An average
of eight crimes such as stabbings, sexual assaults and beatings are
reported each day - as well as 160 cases of criminal damage, fights,
fare disputes and drunken clashes.

Documents seen by the Evening Standard show an increasing use of
knives and the involvement of teenagers. There is an upsurge of
disturbances between 3pm and 5pm as pupils go home from school. All
pupils and students under 18 travel free on London buses. But violent
crime is happening at all times of the day - even during the rush
hour. The figures come after Mayor Boris Johnson promised to increase
the presence of uniformed police and police community support officers
on buses.

Internal TfL documents detail every "code red", when bus controllers
at TfL's CentreComm are told by drivers or members of the public of
crime, vandalism and disorder. In 107 days this year 838 violent
incidents were recorded, along with hundreds more incidents of
disturbance and criminal damage. These included:

• Six youths in Barking on board a No287 stabbing a 25-year-old man in
the head at 7pm.

• A driver was stabbed in the head and arms by two youths wearing
hoods on the N369 in Barking at 2.31am.

• A 40-year-old man being attacked by eight youths on a No 18 bus and
stabbed in the head in Hillside, Stonebridge Park.

• 15-year-old girl threatening a 16-year-old boy with a kitchen knife
on the HA4 in west London at 11am.

• The driver of a No199 being threatened with a knife by youths
demanding money after they opened the emergency doors at Canada Water
station at 11.32am.

• A driver on the No31 in Maida Hill chased off his bus by a gang of
youths, at least one of whom had a knife, at around 10pm.

• A gang of four youths hitting a 65-year-old woman on the back of the
head on the 177 in Greenwich at 8.23pm.

• More than 20 youths assaulting a man and woman on a No 337 bus in
Putney at 4.17pm.

• Ten youths attacking a 20-year-old man on the No174 in Romford at
11pm.

• Four boys with a dog attacking a man on a 436 in Peckham High Street
at 2.54pm.

The reports shows bus drivers are often in the line of fire with
passengers hurling food, cans and other missiles at them. There are
instances where drivers have been sprayed with fire extinguishers and
CS gas.

As you can see from the London Evening Standard report no immigrants
were involved in any of the incidents.

Return of conductors?

Police are no longer permitted to patrol alone, why should bus drivers be
forced to work alone?

And this stupid frigging labour government want us to use public transport,
I dont bloody well think so.  Not only is public transport expensive and
unreliable, but its over crowded,does not go where most people live and now
its proven to be completely unsafe.

The rail network is a joke, it only takes 1 failed signal or 1 failed points
or 1 suicide, or 1 hotbox or 1 cracked rail or one gypo to nick some copper
wire, or 1 gust of wind to drop a catenrary wire, or a rail union to walk
out, or some leaves fall on the line, or half an inch of snow to fall,  any
single tiny incident to cripple hundreds of miles of track and leave
thousands of people stranded.  Not to mention the price of a ticket!!! Use
public transport you must be kidding I tried to book two 2nd class returns
from Darlington to KX a few short weeks ago, £237.00 EACH they were going to
charge, BA were only charging  £187 return to fly.  Driving took 25 minutes
longer than the train and cost £75 in fuel.

Close the bloody railways and turn them into roads.
