Damn, this UK must have excellent public transport. About four months ago I was less lucky when I took an intercity Greyhound bus (huge Volvo) from Johannesburg to Bulawayo in Zimbabwe. Instead of 10hour long trip, it took us more than 15hours because the bus broke down along the way and we had to stop in garage, but we still arrived safely and intact. Opposite applied to other bus though which burnt down completely and the people had to wait on side of the road to be picked up from the middle of nowhere.
