Went home to Brum a few weeks ago, and standing all alone behind the Museum & Art Gallery, was an old custard and blue bus. I think it said Pheasey Estate on the front. I believe there was some filming going on a bit further away, for something or other. The old leather barrier was drawn across to stop anyone boarding, just like the conductors of old used to do, but I felt the cold, cold, chrome bar on the running board, so redolent of winter mornings catching the no 16 from Hamstead to Colmore Row. The upholstery was the same. Would have loved a few minutes on board. I wonder what was being filmed? I remember the day for sure, as it was the day hundreds and hundreds of Romanians were queuing up to vote. (We had gone to see the Ango Saxon Hoard and at first were worried the queue was for that.
Who would have thought an old bus would have such an effect?
