It became even better when top deck smoking was banned!

Along with the ‘no wearing of school uniform out of school hours’, (postcode gang problems), not having ipods on display, staying alert, was ‘do not travel upstairs on the bus’. Of course what we want is for our children to be near the driver should there be trouble. But perhaps they are missing out on inspirational views! Or ideas for GCSE art coursework.

Over the weekend there were parts of our line closed for maintenance, so we took the bus. I am so happy there were repairs on our line, or else we wouldn’t have been able to experience the joy of sitting on the top deck of a bus. We saw more of the city and its people via that mode of transport.
