Britain by bus - Intro

Readers of our Busabout blog will know that in 2000, literally days before Covid clamped the country down Liz and I travelled the length of the country from Southampton to Carlisle and then over the border to Gretna using our pensioner’s concessionary bus pass. Over 450 miles of free travels (and not so free hotels!). Sadly a pressing appointment meant train rather than buses back home, but a good thing perhaps with Covid just starting to become rife.
