Re: Western Greyhound Fire

Their web site mentions covering services with all available buses including the heritage Routemaster.

Funny isn`t it, way past their intended life span and deemed by many to be consigned to history but I bet there will be people along whatever route it`s used on who will be really pleased to travel on it and will talk about it for hours after arriving at their destination! How many mobile phone pics have been taken of it already by those who couldn`t quite believe what they went to work on? And from this unintended new audience might just come a few private hire bookings to keep it busy in the future...
