For consistency

Either Johnson's "MP since" date should read "2001" (and McVey's should read "2010"), or McVey's should read "2017" (and Johnson's should read "2015").

Both have had a spell out of parliament: 2008-15 and 2015-17 respectively.

Central London bus changes

Online information for Stop B at Blackfriars currently shows both the 4 and the 388 as serving it, although there is of course no live departure information for the 4 - and there never will be, because Blackfriars will be the terminus.

Swiss Cottage OSI

I have used the South Hampstead/Swiss Cottage connection when the service between Camden Road and Willesden Junction was diverted via South Hampstead and the OSI was a useful way of getting to West Hampstead.

Bank to Paddington

From Bank to Paddington, maybe walking to Moorgate is quickest - although you have to factor in that only half the trains from Moorgate go to Paddington, and they take you to the wrong end for the ticket office and other facilities. But having spent most of my career working at Central Line stations between St Pauls and TCR, Lancaster Gate is definitely the preferred option over changing at Oxford Circus and taking the infrequent and circuitous Bakerloo Line.

In general, links within Zone 1 are not shown as the tube map would be too cluttered.

EU referendum

We've already had a second referendum - the first was in 1975. Best of three?

Boris Johnson
