You asked
Hello, I'm a London bus enthusiast and frequent user of bus 718. Yesterday when taking that bus, I was seeing the notification of the planned withdrawal of the route at the end of this week. Can I ask for a copy of the onboard announcement of route 718, especially the sentence '718 to Morden' announces in the bus everytime when picking up passengers. This will be a valuable souvenior to me. Thanks in advance.
