CLondoner92 (New Account)In 1978, #London #Transport (LT) trialled the Multi-ride ticket system in #Havering, aiming to achieve 100% one-man bus operations. The scheme, introduced in February, simplified the fare structure, offering discounts for regular travellers. London Country’s route 370, running between #Romford and Corbets Tey, also participated, as did Eastern National, which started later in May. Multi-ride stickers were carried by BT vehicles at Grays garage. The trial aimed to reduce boarding times and streamline fare collection, but although passenger uptake exceeded expectations (with around 75% using Multi-ride tickets), boarding times only dropped to 3 seconds, still far from the 2-second target for efficient one-man operation. Despite being popular with passengers, the scheme didn’t achieve the desired operational efficiency. As a result, LT reconsidered expanding the scheme fleetwide and reassessed future vehicle replacements.
Cuddy2977I'm in the #romford branch of #Cex, to trade in my old phone.
I'm getting a better price from them, than I would do from the equivalent shops in #brentwood

I've been shooting a lot of infrared lately so this week here's another selection. This is a dead tree in Bedfords Park, north of #Romford.

2 shot #vertorama #Konica35mmf2 lens on my #fullspectrum Sony A7ii.
An #infrared shot with two edits - this is the #monochrome reply to the colour edit.
I'm mainly going for black and white #ir shots these days, but I can't make up my mind about this one.
It's a #590nm 4 shot panorama on my full spectrum Sony A7ii with a #Konica35mmf2 lens. (I was too lazy to change the lens to the 21mm) and taken last Monday in winter sunshine in Raphael Park in #Romford.

The Ranty HighwaymanSun's out, so me and the #TheDoodle took #MPoulet out for a cruise into #Romford.
This little cycle track was campaigned for by Havering Cyclists and it makes the entrance into town so easy.

Steven D Rowe 🇨🇦🇬🇧Worldwide Signings is one of the small businesses in #Romford #Essex that could close soon. There has already been other small businesses close in Romford Shopping Mall which is a terrible shame.
People seem to be unable to get off their behind and walk/bus/drive to stores and give their money to billionaires by shopping online.
