The conductors on a number of National operators used a 'mobile' version of them, wrapped around their necks too.
The Almex 90's were used until 2000 when Arriva changed to the Wayfarer. I remember the first time I seen one and it was on either 7370 to 7377 on the 308 and to top it off, the bus was still in the Northumbria livery with all the branding for the 602. I remember the ticket too and it first reminded me of what you'd get on the Shields Ferry until the Arriva logo was applied.
