Enjoy the Routemaster while you still can.

Another high quality lesson from Robin May:
Your and you're are different words!

"The bus, which had been in operation for less than a year, was nearing
the end of its journey..."

How true!

Probably severe engine overheating (though you'd think the driver would
have noticed beforehand) or more likely a fuel leak. Can't think
of anything else that would gut the whole thing given that they're supposed
to be made of fire resistant materials.
