When I was little in Hull, ringing the bell to get off was considered
what would now be called anti-social behaviour. You were supposed to
go and stand by the door waiting to get off (no middle exit).

Yes, I remember in about 1980 being told off by the driver of a WMPTE
Leyland National for ringing the bell when I wanted to get off.

"You don't need to use that any more, "he told me "non now it's a One
Man Bus". I resisted the temptation to tell him that the vehicle
concerned had never been anything else.......

I wonder why they didn't take the fuse out of the bells?
