Perhaps we should be more concerned about the Mercedes buses taking
the navvies to work every day?

You're probably being facetious

Attempting to make everyone think about how far things drill down.

but I'm not aware of any special bus routes for Crossrail construction
workers

But if 2% of buses are filled by Crossrail construction workers, can we
add 2% of the bus drivers' time into the 13k FTE?

and Mercedes buses are now pretty rare in London - only 5 TfL routes
use them.

Where were the remaining ones made? (I have no idea, apart from a
lingering impression that's it's unlikely to be Leyland, Lancs).
