Oh please. Don't fall for the old "my old man's a busman" routine. Yes
his dad drove route 44 in Tooting but even today the 44 is a different
route to the one he drove. None of that helps you understand what is
needed London wide, what the right contract approach is, what
passenger needs are today or in 10 years time, how to set a strategy,
what level to set bus fares at etc etc etc.

The 44 was one of the few examples of a tram route split by partial
conversion to trolleybuses being put back together again (the 12 tram and
the 612 trolleybus). The 44 started running from London Bridge to Mitcham.
The core of the present route still reflects that history.
