The Empty Double Decker To the Editor of the "Nowru-Cinxa Dany News"
Sm—At the Edinburgh Road stop this morning I Just "missed two double-decker buses, the one follow. ing the other at a distance of a few yards, After that came a succession of No. o's Afler an extremely lengthy' wait a trio consisting of a single-decker No. 1, a No. 9 and a double-decker came Most of the would-be "tra naturally made towards the double-decker—but it passed the stop, empty.
