Free Travel

At 9 pm last night an announcement came over the radio saying no fares were to be collected from then until midnight.

Both the Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liners were in the harbour at the same time. Apparently, so many people went down to the harbour to see them, traffic became congested. Fares were not to be collected to save time boarding passengers.

I had been doing routes 462 and 464 all evening. These do not go into the city so I was unaware of the problems.
