Routemasters redux

Routemasters are out of retirement for the Piccadilly Line bus replacement service. The Uxbridge branch has been closed due to "shortage of trains". Hard to believe? So many of them have had wheel damage following wheels locking after braking on lines with leaves on them, that they have knocked out the whole branch and reduced the service on the Heathrow branch. Go ahead and make up your own jokes. It's not much fun for people who go to and from work along the Uxbridge line though.
