I was at the 1995 Blake Hall Show, you can just see my bus in your photographs. I remember having a good look at your Atlantean, how's it coming along?

The changes to bus routes in the Barnet area are all here!Proposed bus route 383 is of particular local interest, aslocal residents are polarised about its presence, particularly as Barnet Council intend to allow buses through width restrictions.

A nice little site with bags of information.By the way Stort valley has purchased the name of scancoaches but says it does not know how it will use the name???????????Would you pay thousands of pounds for a name and not know what you were going to use it for?

Very much designer anorak rather than substandard parka - keep it up!Predominantly text format also appreciated. There are a lot of sites out there and most of them have to have pictures which takes up time which I consider better spent reading the meaty stuff/info.Best wishesAJ

As I live in Boston, Lincolnshire, I don't get much chance to go on a London Bus. I think that they are great though. I wish that I could go to my football team's (Boston Utd) matches on one. We could pull up at away games with a huge double decker. That would show other teams what great support we get. We could have the players on the bottom deck and supporters, when we gwt some, on the top.Great site.Steve Evans

I have been following your exploits for some months and I am delighted to see that you will be continuing, albeit on adifferent website.Interested to read about the Beeline Darts being used at Bromley for Park and Ride. Being a resident of Windsor, I amonly too pleased to see the back of the Renault RWs to Wigan.Their demise cannot come soon enough- speaking as someonewith a bad neck.Best wishes for the future.Stephen

Hello!I live in Austin, Texas and have been looking for a picture of a red London doubledecker bus. Only problem is, I want a side view of one! Everything I've come across is a three-quarter view showing the front and side. (picky, picky)I would appreciate it if you could tell me how I might get such a photo. We Texans are woefully short of beautiful red London busses... as you can imagine.Thank you for any assistance!
