I remember the driver of a double decker on one of those once a day

farmer's field, somewhere outside Woodstock. That was over 30 years
ago.

Don't know about now, but then, it was illegal to reverse then until
you'd detrained.

The driver of an already-detrained bus blocking Chalk Farm Road a few weeks
ago told me that it is illegal to reverse a bus without police presence.

A debussed bus, surely?

Thats why you _always_ see the police behind buses reversing out of bus
station bays all over the country is it?
