Or are bus fares so cheap that nobody cares any longer?

Even: if tickets cost a pound apiece, why should you make a fuss?

For the record, at least one person knows the reference...

How long since we had 6-wheelers though, or even one with as little
as 97hp?

They still are 6-wheeler, but only on 2 axles. Most buses since the
1930s have had 4 wheels on their rear axles. The last 3-axle 6-wheelers
were the pre-war LTs and trolleybuses.

Good spot Colin, I did mean 6 wheels over 3 axles.

So the LT for motor buses.

Does anyone recall how many wheels/axles the modern build of trolleys
which were exported to Spain had? And were they a postwar build?

Like almost the entire London trolleybus fleet, 6 wheels on 3 axles.

Still waiting for that gasman, and I have a feeling I'll need a
carpenter tomorrow...!!
