"it was nice looking at the lovely photos thank you !"

"nice bus."

"hello i really like these photos they are quite good i'm impressed."

"Not too bad for a first try, but I wonder about the big black bit above and below the pic, I've taken pics all way round, except my feet :-)"

"Well, that's pretty disappointing. I've definitely taken 360 all round, but half of it is missing here, at least."

"98%, that's not bad! I more thought people would complain about the trains whistling, smoking and being noisy. Northfleet would be the place I would have to work then, I'm afraid I would need to move there... IF!"

"He loves to hear the trains going past! His partner told me that "98%" of the locals were in favour of the new attraction. Indeed there were lots of locals there on the day I visited. Would you go to work at Northfleet then? It's quite far!"

"Ah, so he indeed lives at Blake Hall Station. He must love to see and hear the trains running through his back garden! Yes, I spoke about a job... I just said 'I would like to work for you and he asked me if it was for the railway or the buses. I confirmed the latter. He said that there was a shortage of engineers at LBT. Let's see! It seems to be time to meet in reality, I reckon, what do you think?"

"Well, I'm good friends with his daughter. Have spent many good Christmases at the old house (before he moved to Blake Hall)."

"You apparently know him?"

"Ja, das finde ich auch. Das Ding hierwird zwar auch als "new Routemaster" gehandelt, aber dann fehlt nahezu jeder Bezug zum Vorbild. Dieser hier ist anders, sollte anregen, ist ein Prototyp, aber ist er formal gelungen? Die Oberdeckfenster kuenstlich zu verkleinern um dem Vorbild gerecht zu werden finde ich dabei einen der unsinnigsten Fehler."

"sieht ja ein bisschen futuristisch aus, die alten Busse hatten doch wesentlich mehr Charme!"

"Lol :-)"

"Otherwise known as 'Paddy's Wigwam'"
