Helpful 468 bus driver

[playghirl]

Husband and and I had been to Travis Perkins and bought loads of trellis for garden. Walking home and struggling past the bus garage when an driver ( empty bus)yelled out to see if we wanted a lift home... or at least up the hill. She dropped us to door:) :) :) :) :)
I love good deeds!!!!!!!!

Fuck me, you were lucky! I've seen two 468 bus drivers whizz past without stopping recently - including one occasion when there was me and a woman with a pushchair at the stop.

I am always writing to the bus company about the infrequency, overcrowding & general fail-ness of this route. Waste of time.

I hate
The 468.

That happened to me once. Were you near West Norwood Bus garage? I was once carrying home a load of books and stuff from work and all the buses were being diverted. I went to the bus garage to ask for directions and started walking up the hill. About a minute later the driver I had been talking to pulled up and told me to get in and gave me a lift up to the top of central hill. Very kind.

Never accept lifts from strangers. That driver could've been an imposter - the real bus driver might've been divested of his uniform, tied to the spare wheel, and gagged. Or it might be a refurbished milk float designed to look like a bus, and the driver a former zoo keeper who got to keep the uniform and hopes that you won't look too close.

Expect the unexpected.

I know. Didn't listen to my mothers advice of never accepting lifts from strangers. Slapped wrists.

tee hee....
yes that is where. I live up Knights Hill so it was great to get a lift!!!!

Or maybe there is a stray bus driver who travels around Norwood doing good deeds!!!

Sometimes bus drivers can be angels. A lovely 133 driver let me on the bus with my bike after I got a puncture when it was raining and told people who were whinging about me taking up to much room to shut-up :cool: :D
