Any links to the British buses on line?


No idea, I can recall the articles which ran at about the same time as
the articles about trains that could scoop water from a trough in the
middle of the railway track to re-fill without having to stop.


They were mainline trains. The new A10 built near here has that
facility but can't use it because there are no water containers left
in the tracks. They had to increase the water capacity on the loco.
Limits its range
