Title: LondonTransport 0845 Busking Line.
Post by bigjohn on Jan 9^th, 2013 at 6:23pm

They even rip off the buskers.

"Although the licence is free, booking pitches can be expensive. Two-hour slots are given out on a first-come, first-served basis on Tuesday mornings via an expensive 0845 number. A lucky few get through at 9.30am; the rest are left dialling all morning, even though all the best pitches are gone in an hour."

Is this still going on?

I first saw it mentioned several years ago.

It would appear so, unless TfL don't update their website: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/projectsandschemes/2435.aspx

We discussed this a few years ago. See Is Transport for London to switch to 0843 2221234? (reply #2).
