Buses we rode on as kids, (too cold to cycle only days)_, long stick with knob on top for gears lever, short man having to literally stand to achieve movement.
Double decker only in city, seldom had the luxury of boarding those!
Back seat always the place to be, fought our way to earn that too....
Shopping graveyard engines might be profitable... 😉. Awesome walk through, duck under, avoidance issue outing again @slobberchops
That's just how I remember them to be. That and the double-decker where all the kids on the top layer ran to the side to try and make the bus topple over when cornering (while they were all inside and about to die). Bloody dumbasses!
Top floor of double-decker rocking sounds like something we would have done..., given the opportunity!
Great memories tied up in old means of transport, alas none here except odd tourist ones rescued from similar fate to the graveyard!
Did your bus drivers tend to lean toward that 'bull dog' look as well, yell where's your ticket? Then have the seat raised he could hardly reach the peddles.... ha ha toppling him would have been fun.
