Boris’s Plot To Get Londoners Fit!

A few days ago, at the Angel, I came out of the Tube station and after picking up my paper, I needed any of a 30, 38 or 56 bus to get myself home.

I was crossing the road, when I became aware of people running in all directions, including down the middle of and across the road. Luckily the lights were with us, so I followed the force.

The rushing was all because a New Bus for London, running on the 38 route had appeared and was waiting to get on the stop to suck in its load of passengers.

I got on at the rear platform and sat immediately and safely in one of the rear facing seats by the platform, just as the bus moved away.

This morning returning from the Angel after a coffee and doing some shopping, I followed a rather puffing much younger man onto the bus.

I then remarked to the driver that these buses seemed to be a plot to get Londoners fit.

She laughed and didn’t disagree.
