....they all shop at Marks and Spencer. I expect the canny one's who took their free or discounted shares when the industry was privatised and then who sold them off at the right time certainly did, perhaps being able to pay off their mortgages too. At this time of Deregulation in an ironic twist it was the middle managers who re-mortgaged their properties to grab a stake in the Privisation process who grabbed a far far greater windfall. Even though all the buses in the line-up are all in Newcastle PTE yellow they don't all carry the same names as the first two buses were from the NBC but had carried Tyneside yellow as part of their operating agreement.

The Newcastle yellow was a very attractive livery. Do you have any more views of such buses?
ReplyDeleteYes I do Andrew, but most of them are in black and white.
