I've always had a thing about buses, even so now having my OAP bus pass, leaving the car on the drive and let someone else drive these days. In the late 1950's early 1960's we used to go on day tips out also the odd evening mystery drive after tea at the weekends in summer. In brief !! my mother came from a small mining village called Clowne near Chesterfield in Derbyshire but later moved to Huddersfield Yorkshire to work as a maid, later met & married dad and raise our family there where i was born. Mums sibling brothers and sisters remained in Clowne, at Easter my uncles family visited us in Huddersfield (mainly for the annual fair in Huddersfield) and we visited his family in Clowne at Whit-suntide. (Now Spring bank holidays)
My elder brother was 6 years older than me, also my uncles 2 children a girl & a boy aged about the same as my brother, leaving me on my own to my cousins toy cupboard and one thing in his toy
excursion bus/coach and boy for 3 days solid I played with it
and finally was given it after my cousin grew up to a teddyboy in the Elvis / Cliff Richard Rock & Roll days.
