I had a conductor with me at one time who was a bit of a card. we stopped at Rottingdean to load passengers. One lady was wearing a pencil tight skirt and couldnt get her foot high enough to get on to the platform. this conductor said "wait a minute madam" and wound the destination blind handle a few turns. the lady was then able to mount the bus. She thanked him very much. He kept a straight face and replied "My pleasure madam"
I often wondered how many conductors this lady asked to lower the step for her since then...LOL
