    We get to see loads of pictures so that you can photo-shop yourself back onto the 'landing-deck' or whatever the technical name for it is. The more folk that go along the better it is for all.

    Thanks, I'll look forward to seeing any photographs that are taken. Should be a fine day of nostalgia.

    That's right Liverpool corporation buses had guards, as its a Liverpool bus running day, the guys on the platform will be guarding not conducting

    Were L Corp. just being different for the sake of it or did their bus business stem from a tram system which itself originated from a rail system?
    I take it that the function of both 'conductor' and 'guard' was the same; collecting enamel badges and covering their lapels with same, abbreviating the English language back to a series of grunts and nods, oh, and the taking of money and the giving of tickets too?

    May I make a comment by way of clarification,we Crosvile staff were referred to among ourselves (and by the inspectors) as guards, but to the general public, (and strictly speaking, the job description) we were conductors.
    Hope this helps.

    Oh Red Time that's putting the cat amongst the pigeon's" " did you carry a shotgun and not a ticketmachine?" what was your t/machine called and was it easy to operate we had a telephone dial with a button underneath fo release of the ticket,
    I thought yours looked harder,followed by LCPT, then ours, don't know what Ribble machines were like
