Yes, well remembered.

Today I was in London and, would you believe it, the second bus I took was terminated early. So this must happen quite often. Surely somebody knows the solution to what must be a common problem? Or are bus fares so cheap that nobody cares any longer?

Probably, most people on the bus aren't paying at all, as they're covered
by bus passes, Freedom cards, Travelcards, Season Tickets, Oyster capping,
Hopper fares, Zip Oyster photocards, etc.

Even: if tickets cost a pound apiece, why should you make a fuss?

How about if a pound is a significant fraction of your discretionary
spending for the week?

How long since we had 6-wheelers though, or even one with as little as 97hp?

Still, it's Monday morning tomorrow, and I think I have a gasman coming to
call...!

They still are 6-wheeler, but only on 2 axles. Most buses since the 1930s
have had 4 wheels on their rear axles. The last 3-axle 6-wheelers were the
pre-war LTs and trolleybuses.

Still, it's Monday morning tomorrow, and I think I have a gasman
coming to call...!
