No thanks’ to London

Tim Deakin

London – What's so special?

We used to do regular tours of Central London in our vintage buses, now we do not bother.

For us it is simply not worth the hassle; parking is now so problematic it is beyond laughable. Traffic moves slower now than the 1960s when our buses first saw the light of day and the risk of a PCN has greatly increased as the vultures circle waiting for you to make a mistake.

London has a greed for the financial rewards from tourists, to me that is clear, but those with influence do not want to invest in the infrastructure required for the coach that brings those visitors to spend those hard earned pennies.

London? No thanks.

Gary Clark, Classic Bus Hire, Wokingham
