That made me laugh.
As a teen I used to often get the bus from Hole-in-the-Wall to Winlaton. Three buses came at more or less the same time including the Derwent. Sometimes, I didn't have the full 15p required for my bus-fare. I knew the drivers at Northern would have none of it, so I used to wait for Derwent with my 12p in hand while preparing my sob story for the driver. It always worked!
I'm telling you, if they existed today and had a Facebook page, everyone would be complementing the customer service skills of the drivers.
