It doesn't usually pay to re-visit the past but I'm glad I returned to my old school, Aiglon College in Switzerland twenty-three-years later at the very end of 1988 for a big reunion. I know I should be ashamed to say it but it wasn't the prospect of seeing the school or the now old greying or fat and balding school friends that excited me, it was seeing beautiful Switzerland again and of course to me at least it's fantasic buses. Our two yellow post buses at Chesieres had long gone as the bus service to Ollon five-miles below in the valley had been taken over by the local mountain rail company BVB and extended to Aigle. But BVB bought a to become long lived Saurer RH bus in 1979 which unusually had almost identical bodywork to the ones found in the still yellow post office PTT fleet just across the mountains in Sion. Just as in the old days people both from School and the village were bemused at my interest and bus photography.
