On a London bus in an unfamiliar place..... the non story

Now everyone likes the old London bus.

Like the telephone kiosk, the pillar box and the black cab the red London Transport bus has become an iconic image.

There will be plenty of people who have travelled on this one I bet, but in the summer of 1978 it was well out of its usual bus route, having taken part in a vintage cavalcade of cars, buses and lorries here in Manchester.

All of which goes to show that a little bit of London can go a long way.
