Used to be more common when there was more routes serving it.

Deptford had a Renown, that had issues with reversing.
Because of this, it was allocated to the 2a/2c - as it didn't need to reverse at any point in the route (there are other Deptford based routes that don't need the vehicle to reverse like...).
Malarkey was worried about the bridge at Harraton and the coming together of the Renown and another bus on the bridge (which is single file).
Obviously peoples imaginations went wild and there were all sorts of potential problems across Washington, with pheasants, Greggs vans, road closures etc and general gridlock - caused by the coming together of two buses, one of which couldn't reverse...

I imagine there has been quite a bit of stuff horded over the years, that could be sold.
