LONDON'S Transport Commissioner has denied that the capital's bus network is "lawless". He claimed that, contrary to the London Assembly's own report, bus-related crime has gone down. He said TFL would not be putting live CCTV on all buses because it would be too costly. "The issue is not the technical trials. If you can put men on the moon, you can transmit live TV from buses," he said.
CAMPAIGN CAPERS
TIME OUT editor Michael Hodges, an independent mayoral candidate, decided to have a little fun with wind-up toy cars with pictures of the candidates faces stuck on. During the race outside City Hall, Boris Johnson went off the tracks relatively early in proceedings, Brian Paddick actually went backwards and Si‚n Berry and Ken Livingstone crashed into each other, leaving the Hodges wind-up toy free to win.
