My younger years on the buses...
Hello, Welcome.
I am going to start with one of my most memorable times on a bus.
Every now and again I go to Todmorden with my grandma, but when I was younger it was a lot lot lot more special...
On the Leyland Olympian/Volvo Northern Counties Palatine 1's we used to come back at night when all was dark. The old interior lighting would make a sort of erie but warm feeling along the A646, I remember myself looking down the window what the drivers use to see whats happening on the upper deck. Grandma used to say "aye dont look down there, driver'll see you", Also I used to peer inside the destination display because there used to be a panel gap on the NC Olympians.
Next bus story...
One day with my grandma and cousin were waiting for the bus in Halifax Bus Station bound for Todmorden Bus Station, then an old Dark Green Todmorden Centenary bus came up (L306PWR 30737)"100 Years of Buses in Todmorden" it said on the side. Didn't really feel pleased because I was looking forward to a Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini to turn up. But I have now turned to love the bus and is one of my most favourite buses of all time! There also used to be an air outlet/inlet and me and my cousin put our fingers in it :D and it sucked them in and then blasted them with hot air! We then came back on a Gemini
Next...
On the bus back from Todmorden Bus Station there's a lay- by I asked my grandma "why don't we have seatbelts on buses?" she said "because...." and a car pulled out so bus driver slammed on the brakes then she said "thats why" hahaha!
More stories to come! So Be Back Very Soon!!
