London's buses carried a record number of passengers on Monday as commuters switched from the stricken Tube network during the worst storm in recent years.
Official figures showed an unprecedented 7.54 million took the bus with a huge surge in the evening peak - a 30 per cent rise on the average Monday - as Londoners battled to get home following the extreme weather.
The rise bucked the normal trend half-term week in when bus journeys normally drop during by ten per cent, TfL said.
Tube journeys fell by nine per cent to 3.86 million as six lines were suspended at the height of the storm due largely to fallen tress at the extremities.
