The countless times that I've been asked whether I go down a particular road / near a particular church / school / temple / hotel / shopping centre and I haven't known the first time and had to ask other passengers who, lets face it, know their patch a lot better than us drivers ever will. I know South Manchester pretty well where I grew up but outside of that I'm still learning as I go along. 99% of the time the passengers help out, 1% of the time someone like your good self will be wondering "God, doesn't he know where such and such a place is"

If I ever route learn the 236 I'll take a note of local landmarks, but anything that's not directly on the route I won't know until it's pointed out to me or I move there.

saw the Queens jublilee liveried bus today in Ashton 19005

There are 4 of these on the road, one for each depot. 19281 for Hyde Road, 19291 for Stockport, 19402 for Sharston, and as you have seen 19005 for Ashton. I've had the pleasure of riding on 3 of them so far in their livery. 19402 however has not yet got my Diamond star
