mad dogs and Scotsmen go out in the midday sun as can be confirmed
at Purmerend bus station (top) on a scorching lunchtime
in August 1995. The posse of NZH DAF/Berkhofs provide
regular commuter services to Amsterdam. Right -
Northern General 3628 (A628BCN), an MCW/Metrobus in
Tyne & Wear PTE colours in Gateshead bus station in July
1984. Bottom - Fife and Midland used to jointly
operate the (27) service from Glasgow to Leven. In the
70's Aberhill depot normally provided Leopards, but unusually on
this hot July evening in 1976, a bus liveried AEC Reliance (FAC18,
AXA218A) was operating through Kirkintilloch. |

| As Britain
waits defiantly for summer to begin, it is comforting to remind ourselves
that life really was better in the old days. Statistically
1976, 1984 and 1995 were some of the hottest and sunniest summers on
record. This feature concentrates on those years - now that's
what I call summer ! |
