Completely unacceptable. I travelled once on a Plymouth Citybus vehicle in an unfamiliar city and the journey was highly stressful because my view was obscured by its self-promotion over the outside of the windows. I never travelled on another service bus of theirs.

Your friend may be cleverer, but are they wiser? A sense of impregnability will almost inevitably lead to an error at some stage, and someone's law will ensure that is spotted and acted upon, followed possibly by the proverbial knock on the door. Better for your friend, I suggest, to concede to...

Or Inkley, which has a famous moor, of course. ;)

Thoroughly nice bloke, from all appearances, including his autobiography.

As do I!

Considerable over-promising then: a shame, nevertheless.I remember Harrods' electric vans from my childhood in London, quite some way from Knightsbridge!

The proposed timetable is only of value for passengers travelling from Bristol to Oxford for a few hours, and not the other way round as implied by the GWR 'spin.'

Yes, that's the vital question. Certainly not been seen in my area.

Penzance is subject to sporadic influxes of small groups of people with an antisocial bent, often arriving by train late at night I believe, There seems to be such a group at the moment, after the end of the storms and generally wet weather. They tend to roam around the town on most nights...

It runs commercial services in a much larger area than that, particularly to the west of that line, which runs southeastwards between the two places quoted in any case. Were you thinking of Falmouth?

Hmm, famous last words, and all that! I'm being forced into having to consider such, and my library is being divested of books as I speak, though mostly fiction at present.

With antecedents to 1897, including the name. The same club in spirit.

Were you based at an old Tilling's shed south of Croydon, a 1950s post-tram construction north of that town or a garage near Kingston (long closed)? I don't remember Nationals at Sutton, but I could well be wrong; indeed, it might be none of the above. :smile:

First have a huge school bus operation in Cornwall, which county is referenced in the press release. Regulatory approval, as with Ensign, is much more likely to be given, in any case, if the company taken over has a completely different main focus.

Please note the time of my posting: this humble pie is hard to stomach! :smile:

What can you say? Two superb test comebacks while you're sleeping through them, and turn on the computer to see two results without knowing who's won. Check Brisbane first and realise Shamar Joseph has gone through the Aussies like a dose of salts, then, thinking India must have made short work...

Maybe it explains why Alfred Percy 'Tich' Freeman didn't play more Test matches. He played for Kent and, in his first class career as a leg spinner took more wickets than any other bowler ever, other than Wilfred Rhodes who played many more matches. He also took five wickets in an innings and...

How about them getting on the train roof and performing? If it happened in three days time, it'd be the 55th anniversary of their Savile Row office rooftop concert.

Barristers and even judges, I expect.

Back in trolleybus days, the 662 and 664 ran up Harrow Road from their terminus at Paddington Green, now basically the site of Britain's most secure police station and the not so frequent 18 or 18B buses were for passengers going further East along the Marylebone and Euston Roads to Baker...
