The Anonymous Widower

Hail the Granny Bus!

The term may be a bit over the top and sexist, as why should it just be grannies and not granpas as well.

But it does seem the elderly like travelling on the New Bus for London. This picture of an elderly couple getting on at traffic lights, sums up the elderly’s attitude to the bus and is one of many I could have taken in a similar vein.

Hopping On a New Bus for London

I also encountered two ladies on the bus, who had deliberately waited for a ride on a New Bus for London. They were impressed.

I think it must bring back memories of years ago, when you could get on and off when you wanted and got service from a friendly conductor.

    The New Buses seem to have recaptured the title again. They look great.
