Number 73 - an appreciation
Eagle-eyed readers of these pages might have spotted the website that used to come from the 'If not...' link on the index page. The first link I wrote was for Railway Modeller magazine ("Great Britain's leading model railway magazine") then after a while I changed it to Ferret Central, a website that's absolutely essential reading for those with a fascination for those delightful little creatures.

On the advice of a friend who has a Ph.D in Applied Trivia, I changed it once again to a site that aims to promote interest in the London Routemaster bus in general, and those that ply the number 73 route in particular. I agree that this is a much neglected area of interest that deserves promotion to a wider public.

I'm delighted to have received a postcard from a fan (of the bus route).

The writer, one Olive Corral, is almost certainly a close relative of Mrs Trellis of North Wales...

Ride the Routemaster while you can - they'll be gone soon.

For those who'd like to explore further, I relist the following links. Come back soon!
