Thanks for the advice. If the increased use of spare double-deckers on Saturdays makes it harder to track down a Marshall, then I shall prefer to come on the Friday after all. I have been on similar Geminis to route 38 in Leeds and Newcastle, but would quite like another ride on an ex-MTL Olympian as opportunities may not continue for long.
