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
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?

Do you know I think about "Transport of Delight" every time I ride on
one of the Heritage routes now! :-))
