Nowadays you have to buy your ticket from a machine that can't give

Is this what's called "progress"? "Progress" is evidently a vector
quantity: it can be (and often is) negative! Or at least, it is only
positive as seen by the company, rather than the customer.

This is what seems most odd about the new policy in Central London. A
lot of the routes have Routemasters with conductors who are presumably
not now allowed to take fares. Stupid.

Conductors on RMs can still take fares.

In Central London? It's not what the stops say or else some RM routes (7?)
have been converted in the last few days.
