TfL didn't stop them in previous years: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hn...26,,0,5.09 http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hn...1,,0,-0.84 http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hn...51,,2,1.45 Has anybody noticed if they have hanging baskets on other Red Routes (Catford town centre, Downham, Lewisham hospital). I would suggest that this excuse does not match the reality of the situation.
