Boarding one of these buses, fitted with luxurious leather seats, decorative vinyls depicting Lake District scenes and offering free wifi and phone/laptop chargers, the elderly lady in front of me took a look around and exclaimed: "Eee, things are looking up on't Ribble*"
* Ribble Motor Services, formed 1919 and operated bus services throughout the north-west of England. Sold to Stagecoach 1989. Gone, but obviously not forgotten!

I liked the look of the monster double-deck Ribble motorway coaches, called 'Ribble Standerwick' for some reason.
Steve,
You mean the "Gay Hostesses". . . . ! Don't think they'd call them that nowadays.
I believe there's club in Soho where you can still ride a Gay Hostess....
