"Christmas shoppers in Brent Cross spoke out today against TfL’s plans to increase bus and tube fares in 2012. Fares will increase by an average of 5.6 per cent next year, which is just above inflation.

"The price rise is lower than expected, with Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, securing £136m of Government funding to prevent higher increases."

"Bus drivers are urinating in bushes after their toilet in Brent Cross was vandalised. 

"Transport provider TfL closed the bus drivers' toilet, outside Brent Cross Shopping Centre in Hendon, on Monday, due to ‘misuse’ of the facility. 

"Metrolink drivers, who can use facilities at the shopping centre during the day, say they are not allowed to use the toilets outside of its 10am-8pm opening hours for health and safety reasons."
