On the Buses

The new bus station in Brecon - the Interchange - opened today, though they were still putting the finishing touches to the paintwork. On the way in, the bus took us into town and dropped us off at the ivy covered building opposite the Museum, but on the way back, I walked up to the bus station. It wasn't as far out of town as I thought it might be, but I have heard some grumbles from ladies who used to go in the Salad Bowl for a cup of tea before they caught the bus home. The cafe is just by where the old bus stop used to be, and they could sit in there and watch for the bus coming. They won't be able to do that any more.

Last week I was going the other way, into Hereford. On the way, we passed a sheepdog loose on the road, looking very worried and as if it might dart under the wheels. A little way further on, we met the other 39 coming the other way. Our driver stopped to warn him about the dog. I don't think that would happen in many places.
