One day London Transport put into service a fleet of buses that had legs instead of wheels so that they could walk when the driver started up his vehicles. Unlike wheels, legs can’t roll off but if a car killed one of the legs of the bus by crashing into it the bus would topple over and it would need a London Transport ambulance to mend the injured bus.
Because these buses had legs they could do what wheeled vehicles can't do, that is,
'scale walls to avoid traffic jams, and that's what they did, in fact it happened with London Transport Leg bus route 128.
In Scrambrook Road, Ilford there was a big pile up; cars ended up climbing on top of each other and men riding their bicycles on top of buses.
The walking bus climbed up a drainpipe and leapt over buildings, but at Gants Hill descended to Earth and was back on the road again, but that wasn't the end for there was a big pile up at the roundabout, which meant that the walking bus had no alternative, but to scale the roundabout.
A police boy shouted"
Hoy! get off that roundabout bus otherwise you'll end up in prison".
The walking bus however obeyed and solved the problem, by leaping over other vehicles, because by having legs it could do what a wheeled vehicle can't do, that is leap up into the air.
