Why Ealing has the 'most bizarre bus route in Britain'

Available for over a year

**Originally published 11 January 2024** Once a week outside West Ealing station a bus takes a handful of passengers to Ruislip. It's been running for over a year, but you won't find it on any of the signs or timetables. It's because this service, dubbed a "ghost bus", operates as a permanent rail replacement service for a railway line that no longer runs. So why does this bus exist? And does anyone actually get it? 91福利社 Radio London's Harry Low has the story.
