Yeah, and all those irritating conductors getting on our nerves saying
things like, "hold very tight, please," or, "mind the stairs."

The conductors on the Heritage Routemaster routes are *noticeably* good
at calling out. This was a practice which had been in decline on RMs
for years and its nice to have it back!

Do you think part of their training involves listening to a certain song
by Flanders and Swann? As an undergraduate I was played another of
their songs in our thermodynamics lectures, and it certainly was helpful.
