It's too short for a front page. Probably about right for a NiB? As a bit of advice, if something doesn't get used then it's best not to dwell on it and just write something else!
I liked the buses sub, but it did remind me of the end of the Young Ones, what with that ending with a routemaster going over Beachy Head. Hopefully it'll make a NiB but if you are aiming for a front page, it needs to be the right length!

They may always be late, but they get there eventually...

One of mine once got used as NiB a full week after I subbed it - have some patience!
But even if it doesn't get picked up by the editors, several people liked it so surely the ego has already been gently massaged, even if it hasn't been slapped on the back.

If it's not topical they can turn up as NiBs at any time. Wayland had a NiB recently that he'd posted months ago.

Short is good. Short is better than long, often. Long gets preferential treatment on the front page for convention's sake. Short doesn't get celebrated. It beats dead horse flogging.
