Well, they're normally kept on a hook in the engine room, but the sign wants them lifted, so lifted they are.

And another busstop by t'cut in Shipley [L+L] in 1983.

 

 

 

If I recall the story correctly, the Passenger Transport Executive, or whatever it was called in those days, provided a small amount of funding to create the signs. The boat operator was very keen to operate the waterbus service to the timetable as published, in all weathers and whatever the number of passengers. That was important to maintain public confidence, and hence sufficient passengers to continue as a viable business.
