Alton Bus Running Day: The Pursuit of Pleasure

Yes I seem to be in a nice place at the moment I even like Leyland Nationals enough these days to steal the odd photo, besides I had a very pleasant ride on this one a former Hants and Dorset bus from Alton to Odiham no doubt helped by it's fabric dual purpose seating instead of Seventies sticky plastic. These buses certainly had a character all of their own the only trouble was not only did the NBC ones all look the same there were just too many of the critters. The D/P version was a bit more unusual though especially in red and looked a lot better. We all grumble about the British weather but it's the perfect place to be on a beautiful summer's day.
