When Are The Hackney Eight Going To Be Reinforced?

The latest news, as reported here, that London bus routes 9 and 390 are the two next routes to be taken over by New Buses for London is good news for some. The trendy areas beloved of the chattering classes, like Notting Hill, Hammersmith and Archway, will now be targeted by the Boris buses.

But as East London is one of the areas of London with the highest level of bus use, isn’t it about time, that another route in the East was converted, or the much-loved Hackney Eight were reinforced?

At least though LT7 is back on the day job after it’s few days as a television star on Top Gear.

And what about my friends in South London, who have no routes, either converted or scheduled to be so?
