For those who may not live in the area, One of the local bus company`s have a replica of the
Chatham Traction bus, in service in the Medway Towns. If they had used a old `routemaster `
for the conversion, it would have had a pole -- ( not from Poland ) -- on the back step.
The company intends to  introduce other old buses, in due course. --  ( read previous story )

We kids that lived near the top of Castle Road Chatham, used to wait for a bus, that had an engine repair, to be driven up Castle Road. It arrived driven by a mechanic. About 5/ 6 of us used to try to jump on the back of it, using the handrail. Some of us got on for a short ride. The crafty mechanic
saw us, reved up the engine, Then we could not get off. we were taken to Huntsmans Corner
before we could get off. We had a long walk back. elf/safety was not around then, in 1938..
