Well I clearly cannot have travelled around Central and East London on
Sunday as I did it all by bus and great fun it was too.

When I was training as a guide I always, if there was time, travelled
around by bus as a way of improving my "feel" for London.

All my colleagues thought I was mad.

One of them once used a 24 to get from Trafalgar Square to Victoria and
came back to our lecture that evening really excited about managing to
do this so easily. (When I casually said to him "Oh the grey and green
one rather than a red one?" [1] he was truly *incredulous* that I could
have known that, too.)

I have the same issue with my boss. my office is at Leicester Sq - HQ is
obviously St James Park. The 24 is by far the nicest and fastest way to
travel when it is running properly. It is a battle royal to get my boss
to use the bus instead of taking two tube services. You'd almost think
that the bus was not public transport if you work for the Tube!
