Hi Docker hope you have fun on connect. It's a good place for jogging the memories and excercising the old grey mater :roflmao: How many of you remember the cheerful conductors who would keep the bus lively either with singing or swinging up and down the bus. The passing of an era

Docker, If you are still there, do you remember Sally Rawsthorne?

I always loved those ticket machines the conductors had. When we were little, we used to play that
we worked on the buses and had a pretend ticket machine. I forget what we used as the substitute. :roflmao:
