Where did the bus go? Can't have been the longest bus tour going You'd think an open-top bus in Perth would be so unusual that it would stick in your mind... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I was going mental It would’ve been around the year 2000 and I think only in the summer. I’m assuming it doesn’t run anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The purple bus thing does ring a bell I think it went to Scone palace, up Kinnoull but bar that i'm struggling to think where else it went. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Yep it’s true, I’ve been on it before. Remember going up Kinnoull hill on the top deck for the banter. It also went to Scone Palace as well. Bring back the tourist bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Our bus had a window bricked in just as we were leaving Aberdeen after a cup game in October 2014, heading home with a freezing wind blowing around the bus was not enjoyable in the slightest. I say that but I wouldn't know myself as I was steaming drunk and asleep on one of the seats up the back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was coming home from uni many moons ago and was resting my weary head against the window when there was a hell of a bang right beside me - nearly shat myself. The outer glazed window panel did that thing that windscreens do and fractured right across but the inner glazing remained intact. Got hold of the guard who immediately indicated that it was an air rifle - he had the air of someone who'd seen this before. It stuck with me because the impact point was right next to my napper and almost a genuine "could have been me" moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I was on a bus going through the Charleston area of Dundee a couple of years ago. Some wee arsehole threw a crutch onto the roof of the bus while it was stationary at a stop. Many years ago at a Montrose home game, against East Fife I think, some local neds created a diversion using stolen traffic cones to lure the away fans coach into a trap and then launched a few stones at it. Montrosians are nothing if not resourceful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszek Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Scariest bus moment for me was on a Greyhound from New York for Cleveland, about midnight, in a window seat, when the Hispanic guy beside me reached into his bag and pulled out a knife. he then reached back in and pulled out a mango, cut it up and offered me some. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just to mix it up a bit, I have thrown bricks from a bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I think I might remember that. I was at Aberhill Primary and the rumour was there were bits of dead Hearts supporters being swept up with the broken glass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I've been in a few that windows got broken from the inside when fights broke out. One guy nearly fell out, he was hanging on by the back of his knees and fingernails before got trailled back in.

The culprits took cover in the grassy area near the Buck and Hynd on the way to East Wemyss. Not guilty. Me and my mates were trudging back to Leven at the time. Aberhill Primary?

That reminds me. The protestants going to my school from Caldercruix, picked up the Catholics in Plains. The protestants got off first and quite often tanned the bus before it pulled away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
