The ever-puzzling rules of Hail & Ride buses

The ever-puzzling rules of Hail & Ride buses Can anyone explain the Hail & Ride etiquette to me? I feel like I’m constantly breaking some kind of unwritten rule that everyone knows about except me, committing the public transport equivalent of drinking the water in your finger bowl… The TFL website said that Hail & Ride (as the name implies!) can be flagged down or requested to stop at any safe point along the route. Yet most drivers seem to operate as if there are definite stops (eg. by the gate to the baseball field on Endymion Road, the postbox opposite Hornsey Library etc.) even though these are completely unmarked. I’ve been told off for trying to hail the bus at other points along the route and sometimes it hasn’t stopped at all. If you ring the bell whilst on board it usually carries on to whichever of these invisible-to-the-naked-eye stops is next.

The tale of a local dairyman and cowkeeper

The tale of a local dairyman and cowkeeper Posted by Hugh on May 6, 2021 at 20:49 in History of Harringay Nicholas Walker dairy cart, c1900. Given that a photo was being taken was probably a special event,  I m assuming that this is Walker himself, perhaps with his son, Menoah, or perhpas a milk carrier boy - see newspaper article below. (Can anyone identify the road?) Hornsey dairyman and cowkeeper Nicholas Walker was born in Necton, Norfolk in 1860. The youngest of six children, his father was the village glover. in the mid 1870s he moved to Finsbury Park where his older brother Menoah was running a dairy at 88 Mountgrove Road, on the corner of Finsbury Park Road.
