Heritage buses will run on the 54 bus route, Blackheath -> Elmers End, on Saturday 13 September

Title: Route 54 Heritage Day, Saturday 13 September 2025

Come for a ride on heritage buses through Blackheath, Lewisham, Catford and Beckenham as part of our programme of bringing buses out of the museum to run again.

We will be running buses from the 1930s to the 1980s from about 9:30-17:00, which will be joined by other buses from private owners. It's completely free and you can ride with us all day.

This special service is not part of Transport for London but will run along regular route 54 services, on which normal fares apply.

I enjoy rook bathing in #Beckenham Place Park i.e. sitting amongst a flock of rooks on the field by the river at #Ravensbourne Station end. They are tame / human-friendly enough to ignore us while they scrutinise grass searching for next meal

I’m looking forward to Stephen Colbert sharpening his knife over this year to show the capitulating Paramount what free speech is all about.

You do you, Jupiter.

However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I guess that a key aspect of barbarism is not to recognise hard-won standards of behavior
e.g #Trump in US
a) not bowing to legal verdicts
b) tearing up contracts tho' ppl already invested bc of them
c) not supporting Ukraine.
Russia's cruelty there is truly barbaric as in this #CNN scoop

NOELREPORTS @noelreports.com · May 21

🚨 CNN published intercepted calls revealing Russian forces directing the execution of Ukrainian POWs: “Capture the commander, kill the others.” These atrocities happened late last year, with over 20 investigations now underway into POW executions ordered by senior commanders.

#Fake news from Left populists is all over YT; top meme at present is #Amazon / #Walmart etc #LEAVING #USA. Such videos usually have steely USA AI voices w/ ominous music eg 'Trump Cornered as Amazon Exits U.S. — $13B Tariff Fallout Hits Supply Chains' www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVxi...

Jamie Dimon warns of "extraordinary amount of #complacency"
after Dow-Jones soars bc #Trump & Co lowered tariffs
tho' they're still much higher than in 1/2025.
