3 Years and One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Miles Later

March the first 2004 and the new buses arrived in Paignton Bus Station where they all entered service. As an old bus came in the passengers, and the driver, were transferred to a brand spanking new bus.
March the first 2007, 3 years later and with about 150 000 miles on the clock and you can hardly tell the difference.

Justajob's spot the difference competition.

My entry.

1. 3 years later, the bus is going to Newton Abbott. What happened to the obviously popular 2004 service to Sorryimnotinservice? And is that village on the 12 or 12A route?

2. While rabbits breed equipotentially, your buses seem to do the opposite. In 2004 you have 2 buses... after 3 years of breeding, you have one.

What do you mean- buses don't breed? Listen at any bus stop in the rain and you will hear the phrase- "breeding buses"

3. Despite the breeding problems outlined above, looking to the rear of the 2007 photo, you appear to have been successful in cross-breeding a bus with a Unicorn.

4. Sometime between 2004 and 2007, someone stole the canopy from Paignton Bus Station

5. Are you seriously telling me that bus hasn't moved in 3 years? The passengers might be getting a but restless.

6. After 3 years of hunting, in 2007 the headlight "on" switch was finally located.

7. Three years on, the passengers still can't find their passes, still don't listen to your helpful advice.....

8. Have any of the local roadworks lasted as long as the buses?

Sorry I'm not in service is the most comon place name in the world and one that is popular with bus drivers. None of the road works have lasted as long as the buses but in the last 3 years we have only had 7 road work free days along the whole of the 12 route. Actually they do breed, we started of with 24 and we have got about 35 now.
