I remember the driver of a double decker on one of those once a day
route variations having to do a three point turn in the entrance to a
farmer's field, somewhere outside Woodstock. That was over 30 years
ago.

IIRC, the 174 journeys to Noak Hill "Pentowan" in the 1970s were scheduled
to do a 3-point turn in the entrance to a farmers field.
