Top Deck Tales

by Ian Hall

The adventures of twelve people, in their own words – drivers, tour leaders and passengers – in the late seventies and early eighties around Europe and Asia in double decker buses. Everyday life. Accidents. Breakdowns. Border hassles. Riots. Being held up at gunpoint.

Crew came from different backgrounds and with varying skills but all showed professionalism, imagination, creativity, improvisation, ingenuity and audacity in getting passengers safely to their destination.

In reading Ian’s book and reading the stories of others that have submitted their stories it brings back a lot of good memories. Ian lot of information of which some is in the book, slightly different in part to how I intended.

I started doing the same many years ago putting together my own stories as they came to memory and so far maybe about 80% of a books worth, some of the stories have jogged my old tired memory a bit so it may help with doing a bit more on it.
