Boris's folly looks good.

1. I never did figure the advantage of single deck buses

other than getting under low bridges. Will they have bus conductors too ?

The old LT factory for making Routemasters was up the road to me in Elstree. Nuicances used to let oil get into the fish breeding pond for the reservoir there.

A lot were shipped over to the USA when they fell from favour. You might need to think about this - which side of the road do they drive on over there and where is the entrance to a Routemaster ?

I thumbed a lift on a private one in LA in back in 2000 and the driver dropped me at a bus stop. The entire queue at the bus stop just gawked at the bus trying to work out where I'd materialised from.
