Uh-oh. Whose idea was that? I would have invited them to High Wycombe
bus station (and depot) which is underneath a multi-storey car park.
It's the most horrible place I can think of (and yes, I've been to
Slough...).
I've heard a lot of talk about hybrid vehicles which switch to electric
power in places like high streets where fumes are a big problem. That
technology seems to be coming to cars; why don't we have it on buses in
this country? It would make life more agreeable in many parts of London;
Oxford Street and Knightsbridge spring to mind, as do any bus layovers
where the local residents moan a lot (e.g. South End Green in Hampstead).
