[/quote] I would get a buzz if 3311 KHA311 also attends ! It was a training bus when I saw it in the late 1960s, being "squ...

I'll volunteer to go there by double decker, providing the drivers know the correct route.

From time to time I get a "nightmare" in which I'm looking at an empty Padmore Street garage and empty parking area ("patch"), with all the buses GONE and not based somewhere else -- replaced by some other means of public transport.
