"Nostalgic Bus Fun: high revs & Pelted Excitement on Route 29 with Preserved AL Gemini 1 LF52UPV!"

"Reflecting on a Rollercoaster Ride: My Experience Aboard VLW85 on Route 29, the ride had its fair share of highs and lows. Unfortunately, the otherwise enjoyable trip was marred by persistent bullying on the upper deck, particularly on this bus. Reflecting on the experience, I regret not speaking up against the behaviour of the enthusiasts that were causing problems. Despite the unsettling atmosphere, the ride itself was undeniably thrilling, and keen listeners, especially those with headphones, could catch the distinctive kickdown sound, especially in 1st gear. The juxtaposition of the excitement of the ride and the unpleasant incidents upstairs left me with mixed emotions.It's essential to address the negative aspects of the journey, including vaping and bullying, as they detract from the overall experience. This discomfort has left me hesitant to venture upstairs in future rides. On a positive note, the ride showcased the charm of VLW85, and the day offered the opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts during the running day event. This marked my second time attending such an event, and despite the challenges, the overall experience was memorable. In the end, the contrasting elements of the journey serve as a reminder that while the joy of vintage bus rides can be exhilarating, fostering a respectful and enjoyable atmosphere for all passengers is equally important.
