ode to the AAH
From [44] to [45]
neon blue
I nearly died
oh, how I'll miss you
the greatest double decker
to ever drive
the 118 has been gone for 5 days now.
It was replaced by the 45. Not only this, but the bus drivers were also replaced.This replacement of the bus drivers has baffled me, because the new bus drivers are much less experienced, they:
- miss bus stops
- don't know the route
- give unecessary announcements
My ears have been assaulted by the message
The 118 from 1936 to 2025, went from Morden to Brixton and back.
I forever see its lack.
