Annasfield Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Do you really sit there Sean? I first noticed it after I flagged down a 35 having spent all day boozing in the Upton Park vicinity. Was quite amused by it and let my (drunk) feelings be known. (Quite vocally too :-$) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6934-police-and-the-number-40-bus/#findComment-221956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollybaby Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes I was on the bus. Two school kids got on - around 15 and started fighting and broke the door on the bus. Not sure what happened next as when they nearly landed in my lap I decided it was time to jump off and escape to the safety of sainsburys Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6934-police-and-the-number-40-bus/#findComment-221973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckwich Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 This would be the seat in the little alcove behind the driver, right? We're not special enough to have one of those on the 63's. Our buses are furnished with greenflies on the windows though (what is up with that?)
