I know nobody, well I have had THE INFORMANT drive a bus I was on once but didn't know that at the time, I think I have had others as drivers but can't remember who.
Explain your reasoning for putting the slowest, worst bus on the longest route. Surely it'd be more efficient to have a newer one. Where's my 8 speed M.A.N?

One person I hadn't seen for a long time and who turned up at Loftus on the big weekend in February was Lord Totteringham (aka T J Tottenham) from the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.

Lord Totteringham was once one of the biggest names on the bus enthusiast scene but seems to have faded into retirement over recent years? I hadn't seen him for many years until we caught up at the Sydney Tram Museum.
