I would be interested in taking a share of a london bus, room for the kids?

Wouldn't travelling in a London bus be a wheeze?

We could all sing "Summer Holiday" as we go along. (you're not old enough to know that one, Sogs).

Count me in.

It sounds a great laugh in theory, but surely fuel and maintenance costs would amount to several grand a year every year on top of the initial price? As has already been mentioned, what are the safety issues regarding such vehicles on motorways? (Seatbelts for instance?) I'd think about contributing if it was a serious prospect.

Definitely up for away travel. At the risk of being dull suggest we try to create a committed hardcore before buying the route master but will happily contribute to such a project. We could ask the bloke who reads the news on Wogan to borrow / hire his for one game. Think of the publicity.
