Apparently around 40 buses were hand washed on Sunday, with the rest to be done this weekend. Hope you noticed the difference!

It’s unnerving when you have an empty bus, and a voice comes out of the blue and scares the s**t out of you! I had one of these systems on a E300 on Saturday, when I got to Bracken Grove, theoretically the end of the route, it announced loudly “this service terminates here, all passengers to alight”...
