Some London's buses have become painstakingly slow. A recent study by the found that the city's slowest bus, the number 14, averaged just 5.7mph in 2025, and the average speed of buses in the City of London between was a mere 6.2mph. Some days, you're often much better off walking. But for three lucky boroughs, things could soon start speeding up again.

One incident involved a driver on route 159 who discovered a cockroach in their drink during a break. The driver described the experience in a video recorded inside the affected vehicle. I went to take a sip from my drink and felt something in my mouth, the driver said. I spat it out and saw it was a cockroach. I felt sick and ended up vomiting.
