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.

1/5 #infrared
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.

I've just learned that Havering Museum, Romford is holding an exhibition of the phenomenal art and craft of my late aunt Wendy Pidgeon until 25 April. Doesn't seem to be listed on the Havering Museum website - details came from Romford Embroiderers, which Wendy helped establish.

From #Romford to #Frankfurt! 🫶
Although it is getting tougher for me to appreciate #concerts in venues of such large size as #Frankfurt's #Jahrhunderthalle I'm really enjoying #Underworld's gig. Good, that I finally managed to see them live.
