No more of the Old Bus service, instead a new service run by Ariva
with new busses.

Another ichabod moment. I hadn't realised the old colour-coding had
already gone. But didn't anybody warn the poor blighters about
privatised British railway companies?

While I'm doing the old-buffer shtick, I remember when Devon General
went over to one-man buses, with a perfect piece of management-speak.
The notice in the bus read that the move was "to increase
productivity": everybody likes productivity, after all...even when
there isn't actually a product. But of course it's now come to banks
claiming to provide a "product", and insurance calling itself an
"industry".
