But why would any bus journey variant only run on the fifth Tuesday
of a month? Seems utterly perverse.


It's a local volunteer-run community minibus


So maybe it did run last week, but the journalist failed to recognise it
(if he was looking for a conventional bus).

That's happened to me a few times (generally overseas) where a shuttle
(or transfer) "bus" has been difficult to spot unless you know what you
are looking for.

"Whitbread Wanderbus" (no current connection with a brewery that I know
of!)


It seems to be named after the Samuel Whitbread Community College, in
Shefford.
