Resilience of London transport

I observed London transport's resilience after the 2005 attacks when four consecutive 259 double-decker buses arrived at Finsbury Park. They efficiently handled the surge in passengers, operating almost like a train to maintain mobility during the crisis.

The public transport reacted beautifully to the damage. I had to take Bus 259 from Finsbury Park to Tottenham Police Station. As I waited at the bus stop, I saw a 259 double decker pull in. Followed by another. And another. And another. Four double-decker buses following one after the other – and they ended up getting filled. Almost felt like a train, except without rails and a floor above.
