[edit] Some edits

Apologies if I offend anyone with my edits, but anyway, I removed some lines from the article/rejigged stuff as it read like promotional literature/opinion rather than an objective article.

"There are very few commercial local bus services left in London (none wholly within London, apart from sightseeing tours etc.), and most of those that remain are operated under London Service Permits which means they are not part of the London Bus network, with higher fares, passes not valid etc. One that seems to buck the trend however is the 614, which is going from strength to strength. Although it is a cross-border route and can build its customer base on longer-distance travellers to places such at Hatfield, it does have quite a substantial London section providing some unique "round the corner" links. In particular it provides a direct service between Barnet and Edgware."

"...it is quite a few years since the last buses with that number of seats were delivered for use in London."

I was going to re-write the above to incorporate it into the article , but I didn't really understand the point it was trying to make. Anyway, if there's any objections/suggestions etc please prod me, I can't think straight enough to give a detailed rationale right now. :) londonsista | ^Prod 17:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
