“Welcome, welcome London Road-Car, beard the mammoth God of Shares, Pioneers of all improvements, handsome cars and cheaper fares; No more ‘tubs’ and foreign gee-gees, onward, Road-Car, spread the light, No more sixpence any distance after eight on Sunday night. “‘No more turning back,’ said Buller, to the gallant rank and file; No white flag was ever hoisted by the ‘Dubs’ from Erin’s isle; Strike no flag, and give no quarter, for with them it’s ‘outing-dues,’ Good luck to the ‘orange blossoms,’ for we’ve long since had the ‘blues.’ “Stand no nursing, Road-Car drivers, you’ve a right as well as they, Forward, valiant standard-bearers, bravo “D” and “B” and “J.” Come to stay’s the public verdict, bull-dog pluck cannot be beat, Men and masters, pull together, no surrender! no retreat! “To the public I’m appealing; forward help this gallant band, ’Neath the grand old flag of England in your thousands take your stand; Trace to them all known improvements, now, as in the days of yore, When a change is really needed, they’ll send five-and-twenty more.” “CEAD A MILLE FAILTHE.” “D” and “B” and “J” are Mr. Duff, the manager of the Road Car Company, and Messrs. Bristow and Jones, two other officials. The London Road Car Company has certainly, during its comparatively short career, been more enterprising than its rivals in providing for the comfort of the omnibus-travelling public; but it is scarcely entitled to much sympathy in connection with the Putney and Brondesbury struggle, considering that, not many years ago, it meted out to a small company treatment similar to that of which it now complains. It compelled that company--which also issued an appeal to the public--to submit to its terms, in spite of the fact that, unlike the London General Omnibus Company and other companies who are members of the various associations, it does not pay compensation for placing its omnibuses on a route which another company has planned and worked into success. It is somewhat surprising that the London General Omnibus Company and the proprietors associated with it have not thought it advisable to publish periodically, for the convenience of the public, a list of their routes. Visitors to London are frequently in need of such a guide. The following is a list of omnibus lines which run through or into London. Acton and Charing Cross (_viâ_ Shepherd’s Bush, Bayswater Road, Oxford Street, and Regent Street). Baker-street Station and Victoria (_viâ_ Baker Street, Grosvenor Square, and Hyde Park Corner). Baker-street Station and Waterloo (_viâ_ Baker Street, Bond Street, and Westminster Bridge). Barnes and Uxbridge Road (_viâ_ Hammersmith Broadway).
