The
Far Side |
Somewhere
beyond the security perimeter fences of airports and ferry
terminals, lies another world of buses. These vehicles
operate services for passengers and employees and rarely stray
outside their environment. They live their lives on the
far side. |

buses to shuttle passengers from the terminal building to the Seacat
at Stranraer. Fleetline SR879 (ECS879V)
is seen behind the barbed wire in September 1996. |

The ferry companies at Calais provide buses to carry foot passengers
from the terminal to the ships. P&O 6413QX62
and SeaFrance 4950QR62, both Renault PR100's, are seen
landside in July 1995 at Calais. These vehicles are also
used to provide a free service to the town centre. |
Above

its own runway. ANT 171AHV06, a standard Renault/Heuliez,
is seen airside at Terminal 1 in June 2000. |
