A view from the top deck ... Ancoats, Manchester

I can't remember the last time I sat on the top deck of a bus. I'm pretty sure that it was when smoking was still allowed, which was the reason I didn't like it up there in the first place.

Today, if we wanted to sit together, the top deck was our only option. What a fantastic view we had. We could see over the boarding, to view the new developments around Manchester's outskirts. The sun was shining and the windows all open so there was a cooling breeze for us passengers. Fantastic!

Think I'll be doing it again.
