Bus of Britain

I love those latest Stagecoach "Bus of Britain" adverts, they are an ironic parody based heavily on "Little Britain", though it really brings Home the message as to why I for one will not travel on Public transport, I mean who wants to pay to make a journey sat next to a flatulant eco warrior or an old rip thats spent to long under a Sun lamp :lol: I think I would rather continue to pay through the nose for fuel and enjoy the pleasure of my own company and space :wink:

Shite isn't really a derogatory term on this board though.A couple of years ago I went from Dundee to London by Megabus for £1. Imagine my delight when the bus that turned up was a very battered 1989 Leyland Olympian with a strong smell of exhaust fumes inside. Luckily it transpired that the Leyland was only going to Glasgow and then we would be transferred to a brand new Neoplan. The Neoplan was so quiet and smooth that you couldn't tell it was moving unless you looked out of the window. I think I experienced the shitest and the best Stagecoach had to offer on that journey.

619 DXX was the black hardtop E-type, DVLA says taxed till end Nov '08.

163 ELT - also taxed till end Nov

 

So perhaps they didn't trash as many cars as it would appear in the film!!
