Something You Don't See Every Day (2)

There I was, having a post lunch breath of fresh air in Paignton Bus Station when I realised there was something odd about the place. I couldn't quite work out what it was. So I took the photo to take home and study and see if I could come up with a solution.

I'd have guessed the Tridents are with Voith having their annual gearbox mangling. Either that or with Dennis having the emergency doors sabotaged.

The lady in the foreground has forgotten her hat. A silly thing to do in such sunshine.

I would guess where are all the buses!?
But that seems obvious, other than that I can't see any irregularities in this :s

Maybe all the drivers were having training on how to turn their heaters off. Boarded 3 different 12s on Tuesday, and yes - each one had their heaters on full blast although the temperature was in the 70s outside.

Is it a new policy to kill off the pensioners with heat exhaustion reduce the losses on the free rides?

It's only the lack of buses, I thought it unusual, however I was there today at a different time and there were no buses there either.

Problem with the heaters on the Tridents. The tap in in the engine compartment, you have to lift the lid and turn it off. Then in the evenings even at this time of year it can get cold so the lid has to be lifted and the tap turned on again. And the next day the lid lifted etc,etc. That isn't main part of the problem though. Since one of our drivers ripped a lid off because he didn't know where the catch was, we, the drivers, aren't allowed to lift the lids on the engine compartment.
