And lets not forget the Bargain Busthe days where a Tyneside civil ('turf'
) war almost erupted.
ANE were feeding their drivers raw meat!
Can remember Magic Bus, but can't remember the competitions name.
Pretty sure it was a small independent.
Aye, Classic ran all sorts to Chester. Can remember RE's being used at one point!
Used a rip off tag line too - Proud of our routes, opposed to Northerns Proud of our heritage line.
