Default Sad day for London and farewell to faithful friends

There's a piece in today's Times which says that Stagecoach have a fleet
of 28 RMs which they want to use on a "heritage route". Details of the
route aren't given, but apparently travelcards and freedom passes will
be valid. Go-Ahead are also said to be interested in operating such a
route.

And the "Public Agenda" section of the same newspaper had an interview with
Peter Hendy-Bendy-Bus, who said that he had to pull out of a North London
Routemaster bus rally (presumably the Finsbury Park one) because he didn't
think he'd get out alive. Indeed. And to top it all, the hypocrite apparently
hired a Routemaster for his wedding - presumably he and his guests would all
have been seasick if they'd travelled on a Hendy-Bendy-Bus!
