It seems like i'm a bit older than most on here as my first memories of a school bus was getting the Armstrong galley bus to school. It was coach style but dont think it was brand new in any shape or form. Im sure we got a double Decker busways bus on occasion and they definitely were not new. But in the last year Henry Cooper took over and although the bus/coach was by no means just out of the factory it was comfortable, reliable and we even got to watch VHS on the screens on the bus!

The following years i just got the "normal bus" home as the they change the route of the scholars

Mk1 Nationals and ECW Olympians for me in the main, when I first started.

Operated by Philly and Washington depots and out on service work afterwards, so usually in good nick internally.

Could always work out the shift patterns too. Whoever drove the Oly on a morning, always ended up on the 194 that passed the school just as we came out on an afternoon.

Never worked what the PM runs worked off, as I tended to get a 'normal bus' home.
