No more double-decker busses in London
Found something in a roundabout way (was reading a post on the blog Paris Daily Photo, which linked to a post on London Daily Photo) about one of the icons of London, the Routemaster double-decker busses, have been decommissioned. Glad Kelly and I got to ride on one in 2001 when we were there. I guess I can understand why though, the busses were not handicapped-friendly.
I imagine that the open-top tourist busses will still be around, at least I hope, bug gone are the normal red double-deckers. :(

Bummer! I was hoping to ride one whenever Beck and I get around to visiting the UK (in 2007 or 2008?). Drat.
