So, this has been around for a few months, and for the first time on the 38 route from Clerkenwell (home of the best brunch and flat white in London at Caravan of Exmouth Market – more on that later) to Victoria, I rode the New Bus for London as linked here. Here’s a photo of the retro and pretty cool new bus.
I’m actually really thrilled with the retro design, right down to the font of the red, round STOP button and the ability to enter or leave the bus at the back at any time that you want. It made getting to Victoria even quicker as I could get off between stops at a stop light. Very cool. Now, I’m still a Tube guy, and I’m even warming to National Rail in some spots, but – wow. This is much more comfortable and accommodating than the vomit rockets of the night buses.
