Was it a bendibus with the concertina bit in the middle?
(Sorry, couldn't resist)

And talking of Bendibuses, I saw two today on the M25/M11 at around
10.00 this morning and wondered if anyone knew where they might have
been coming from..

Kat Me, Ambivalent? Well, yes and no.

Sorry, should have added they were going east on the M25 and south on
the M11 and I assumed were going to take the A12 because they both said
Bank on them.

Or to Arriva's Edmonton garage in one of the Industrial Estates just off
of Angel Road...


but haven't Arriva received all of theirs for the 149? The ones for the
25 are due for delivery about now while the ones for the 73 are being
built now but are not due for delivery for months yet. Unless, of
course, you know different.

Wouldn't they have been more likely to leave the M25 at Junction 25 for
the A10 in that case?

Wasn't it an early delivery for the 73 that expired on the motorway,
adding to the forore about burning bendis?
