LT used to employ not only uniformed 'Blakey' inspectors
but plainclothes ones who hopped on the bus to check on the conductor (and in
one case I know, even acted as a bit of a provocateur).

Plenty of plain-clothes inspectors these days - checking tickets and so
forth.

There seemed to be more regulations in those days too, like how many
standing passengers could be carried, and so forth.

Er, there still are rules regarding the maximum number of standees.
