try putting tangytango into a famous web search engine. Thank you mrfs42. I'm a member of that forum.  I'd like to point out that security in TBF has been tweaked recently so it may take a little while for any new accounts to be approved, but I'm sure that it wouldn't be too long. I never knew that there's a chat area here or in any of the Proboard forums I've joined so far.  EDIT: I intially thought that it was a chat room kind of thing but it's just a seperate section of the forum. |

One of the reggae music forums I participate in is a Proboards forum with an off-topic (chat) area only accessible to properly logged in members. Dave's chat area is the first "by application only" chat area I've encountered

I gave up with waiting to hear about an application to join TBF a while ago...!
For those who might like to chat about buses, there is also the Tr*******t Forum, which seems to have, like yours truly, a number of DDF members. I think RUKF also has discussions about buses.
I regret to say that I have hardly posted in Chat here since I was given the privilege. Ought to do so more.

There has been some controversy with a few members there a while back and extra caution was taken with approving new accounts. The Tr*******t Forum has been very, very quiet recently, it used to be very busy a couple of years ago. |

Please do! You have my e mail address.
It was the late Routemaster Forum that demonstrated all too well how things can get out of hand. So many posters forgot the cardinal rule of online forums that you should never be disrespectful ... most particularly personally, as any remarks will be read by or made known to those who were the subject of comments. Regrettably this still happens on other transport-orientated forums, with comments usually aimed at a certain famous publishing house that I have more than a little connection with.

There are also email discussion groups for London Transport (which seems to primarily discuss buses and is nowhere near as clued up regarding LU topics as this forum is) and at least one for London Buses specifically (I'm not a member of any of these so can't comment on their content). These are all yahoo groups, go if you search for appropriate names at yahoogroups.com you'll find several.

I've been "pending" there for over a year now, so it's safe to say that the process is a touch drawn out....... As for the chat area, it's not essential to post all the time in there, but we do need a bit more from everyone to keep it viable. Yesterday saw a huge upturn in fortunes. Meantime again, those who have PM'd me will (or may already) see the area sometime reasonably soon. |

Sorry to 'Bump' but would it be possible just to have a 'General Surface Transport' board, for the discussion. I understand this isn't directly LUL related but surely if it was discussing London Buses, topics discussed might 'criss cross' with topics on the LUL Board? Fare Evasion, Grafitti ect.

We have considered this in the past, but we are a specialist forum concentrating on London Underground.
We subsequently introduced other TfL (Transport for London) railway based modes owing to their very close association with London Underground, and to a lessor degree we cover National Rail in London where it has a close association with TfL.
If we were to do buses, then people would say "what about taxis?". Then they'd want to include Trams - a mode not considered as rail on the basis that Trams run on sight alone, obey road traffic laws, etc. Soon we'd be moving into aviation.
So unfortunately we don't do buses and we have no plans to do so in the future. Rail replacement buses would however be the sole exception, naturally.

Add to that, I have also suggested a sister forum to this containing buses in the past, but it's still a big NO

It is said that England has the best Rail Replacement Bus Service in the world! ;-)
And OK, I suppose you are right!

*BUMP*
The chat area is being hugely under used again, almost to the point where it's a wonder it's still there, some days barely scraping half a dozen posts.
If you wish to participate, and you don't have "chatter" under your username, drop me a PM, and I'll get access sorted out for you.
