The May - pretends to be strong and stable but does loads of U-turns

The May - rebranded, refurbished and re-liveried every week, but there's a constant annoying announcement on the bus that says "Nothing has changed!" over and over again.

The Bonar Law - turns up unexpectedly at the bus station. Nobody can remember what it looks like or where it goes to.

The Attlee - A vehicle from the past. Old timers speak glowingly of it but when asked what made it so good, cannot remember.

The Wilson, the Attlee and the Baldwin all had to be taken out of service following the introduction of the LEZ.

The Attlee... has been running on route 48 for many years and quite well liked by most people though it has often suffered from lack of funding from TFL. However, it's now threatened by takeover from a large bus conglomerate from Kansas owned by one of Donald Trump's mates, resulting in people having to pay £1000 to travel half a mile.

You, sir, win RailUKForums for the day. :D

The May: The operators of this bus recently paid £1 billion in repairs in order to get the bus running again. The May also now wears a new orange livery.

Unless there is a terrorist incident when it is £2000 and rising.

The Thatcher - anybody who travels on it beyond the age of 26 is a failure
