How many people would get the chance after 45 years playing with the actual bus that they loved back in the early seventies.
Bob Gioia
Not many of us.
John Clarke
It's one of the great stories.
Steve Hardie
That's lottery ticket stuff for sure
Lyndsay Holme
Or even the early 60s! As a small boy, catching the 508 at the yellow "Signal Driver" wooden post on Victoria Rd and being shouted at by the fearsome driver to "put it there, laddie", as he pointed impatiently to the rubber mat next to the ticket holder, where the thrippence should go!
Rusty Williams
ryde driver would never speak like that sorry.

Norman Julian
Did you get this mate?
Underfloor or decker?
Scott Wilson
Norman Julian It's at Leichhardt, one of my favorites too.
I got it ready for traffic but the SBM never commissioned it into service.
Graeme Knappick
My MK2 Merc 2451 was always one of my favourites and she’s with me too now.
Graeme Knappick
And here she is back on the 3/3/88.
Graeme Knappick
And also this!
I made this plate out of wood back in 1972 at age 13 of Leyland TD1’s number plate 1003 and then in May, 2018 acquired the real one!
