On one long trip the guides had to push start the bus after every service station stops.</p> <p>Of course, this is all long ago, so no real relevance to the company today. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6513#post-69920 Thu, 10 May 2012 14:22:57 +0000 Tom 69920@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Entrusting my daughters to coach drivers is the part of school outings that causes me greatest concern.

He thought it was a blow-out.”</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/transport/safety-fear-as-wheel-comes-off-school-bus-1-2286402" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/transport/safety-fear-as-wheel-comes-off-school-bus-1-2286402</a></p> <p>Please keep any comments within the bounds of taste, decency and legal constraint...</p> <p>Does kinda confirm a 'view' on here about some bus/coach companies that happen to be just outside the city's limits... </p>
