[QUOTE=thegen65;39604174]Jeez Islay, you are old enough to remember the buses in Dundee with the open platform at the back. Baltic in the winter, but people just got on with it.

When you come to think of it, travelling back from away games in the 70s and 80s with on a bus with half the windows smashed was no picnic, but again people got on with it no dramas no fuss no cry arsing.


Lots more in life to worry about than a 20-30 min Explore bus journey to wherever with its windows open.[/QUOTE
I also remember when the one man double deckers where the door shut outwith the stops were introduced on the 20 bus route from memory in January 1967. What a difference to sit in a nice warm bus instead of a freezing cold bus which had no door.
In October 2020 bus passengers have got used to travelling on warm xplore Dundee buses and it is likely that they have no urge to return to sitting in a freezing cold bus with all the windows open on the off chance that it will keep them safe from contracting the Covid-19 virus.
I never travelled to away games in the 1970’s and 80’s by bus as I have never been a member of a Dundee Supporters Club.
