Is it me or are the buses getting slower.

Faced with an unusual journey into work today, and no excuse to claim the money back, I thought shall I pay ?3.50 for a single on the train, and face all the problems that you lot go on about, or 90p (yes I admit it with an Oyster card) and use the bus. Well jumped on one near to Lordship Lane Station (176) (I think technically in Forest Hill) and although there were no serious traffic jams, nor are there any longer big delays due to passengers paying in cash, still took 70 minutes to get into town (Charing X). OK so I had my own seat, and with the window open just mangaged not to over-heat.

I thought of chipping into the train debate with this post, or starting a post - trains vs the bus. But, no, let the bus have a thread all of its own.
