And then there were three.
This came as a surprise, so we counted them again and still three. We tried counting in French, un, deux, trois… then backwards in French, which we found out is how you summon a Belgian accountant.
We briefly considered whether one might simply be two buses standing very close together, but an independent inquiry conducted by a licensed badger confirmed that all three were separate buses. The badger then demanded sixpence, declared the inquiry invalid and disappeared into a hedge.
And now for something completely different: the history of our newest bus, RM 1010.
RM 1010 entered service with London Transport in 1962. After 25 years carrying Londoners about, she went on to work in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Yorkshire and Scarborough, was converted to an open-top bus and eventually crossed the Atlantic in 2009. Most recently, she lived at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach.
And now she’s ours.
We think she’ll make a very happy home here in Frederick, alongside the other two. Although we shall be counting them again tomorrow, just in case.
