Steve Cassidy comments : I think that this was a single coach of Goyle Bashers, the remainder being schoolgirls (Moreton Hall Girls School)! The girls were off on various fieldtrips (I got on at Bath where a load got off, but Trowbridge, Westbury and Salisbury were also destinations), though none of them seemed to join us checking out the Salisbury Pubs!
