Hi Peter,

There is something about the red double deckers, and you have photographed this one beautifully. There is a cafe not far from here called Pip's Railway Carriage Cafe, nr. Ilminster, where all meals are cooked and eaten in a railway carriage. They have now added a double decker bus to the cafe and I am told the food is just as outstanding. A novel idea and I can't wait to go there again.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much for visiting. I am pleased that you like my attempt to make a scenic picture!
They do run these old buses on some weekends. I had a look for the cafe you mentioned, but there seems to be no pictures on the web site. Pity! (Or maybe other web site somewhere else?)

Best Wishes
Peter

Thank you Steve,

This was a very brief visit, matched up with something else on the day. But with two locos running, plus the old diesel DMU, at was worthwhile. The vintage bus was a nice addition!

Best Wishes

My dear Peter,

I love the old bus very much! A very beautiful picture!!
I remember, there was a similar bus in Rahmi Koç Museum in Istanbul. Do you remember too?

My dear Füsun,

Thank you for your very kind visit and nice comments. You are right of course, there is a London bus in Rahmi Koç Museum, and I have a photo of it from our time there. I think you have one too.. This link will say about the type of bus in Rahmi Koç
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEC_Routemaster , which is of different manufacture to the one here, (although very similar style).
In this picture I wanted to get the station building in the frame too.. Specially..

Love Peter
