Top deck joy

It is very special, isn't it? Sadly they've dispensed with double deckers around here. However when we go to Cornwall or the Lake District they are mostly double deckers. The views are spectacular especially in the Lake District.

I can’t climb the steps now, but I remember how we used to love sitting upstairs as children.

I remember dashing up the stairs in the bus to get to the front seat first.
Can't dash now and a bit wary climbing stairs if the bus starts to move.

Oh, how the grandchildren and I loved our recent excursion on the open- top bus.
We managed premium seats at the top and enjoyed the whole journey, managing to ignore the envious looks of other travellers.
When we left, there was a very unseemly scramble for our vacated seats

Highlight of our holiday when the children were young was an open top bus ride from Bournemouth to Swanage….and back

The Gdcs rarely go on a bus at home, so whenever possible I take them on buses here, even when it’d probably be quicker to drive. Front seats on a double decker are their favourites, but a whole row at the back top deck will also do very nicely.

I love going upstairs on the bus- it's getting down the stairs that's the problem!

Many of the buses on the route from our house into town are double deckers, I haven’t ventured upstairs yet as the stairs look very steep. However last year we took some hop on hop off tour buses when we were in London with our grandchildren and the best views were upstairs so I did manage the stairs.

When my DD and I went to Aberdeen to the University open day we travelled by bus. Homeward bound we sat at the front on the top deck all the way to Glasgow. The scenery was stunning.

We used to do Swanage to Poole and back. Lovely views.

Keepingquiet the last time I went upstairs on a bus I had to come down backwards !

Not the same thing really but we recently enjoyed upper deck views from our TGV train from Paris through Bordeaux to Agen where the line goes on to Toulouse.
Wonderful views across the countryside from a light and airy train.

Sounds quite marvellous Rosieand herMaw.

😂 Sorry, but that tickled me! But then I quickly realised I’d be in the same boat, so that wiped the smile off my face!
