i miss conductors. used to catch the 73 when it was a routemaster. if you knew how to play it then it also would be free. Simply sit on the top front seat at the far left or right.
There was one dude though who would give a little commentary on buildings and points of interest we bussed by and used to make me feel my £1 was money well spent.
I must warn you though that lamenting the loss of conductors throws you in with Daily Mail columnist Quentin Letts who asked last week:
Could bringing back bus conductors be just the ticket to save us from the faceless technocrats who haunt Bog Standard Britain?
