Nah, 73s come in bunches of five... I'm sure
they were mostly Routemasters yesterday.


Used to be threes when I lived in Newington Green in the 1970s.

Still, there's inflation for you!


The 253 used to always come in bunches of seven. I was told this by someone,
and I experienced it myself. Given that the old 253 was effectively two
overlapping routes, this isn't too surprising, although 6 might be more
expected.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
