    23:35 why driving a single route the entire career? Why not having different routes on different days? Apart from that I think that London depends way to much on having busses in the downtown area, there are way too many of them around The staff rooms at the garage look kind of poor, like in really bad shape. That's not the kind of environment a company's work force should have to live with.
