Thomas the Tank Engine School Bus

Thomas the Tank Engine

I saw this great Thomas the Tank Engine school bus a few days after I moved into my place. From the window you can see a school, and every day this bus would arrive and drop off the kids. I always wanted to take a photo, but never got the opportunity. Today, as I was heading out on my bike, I saw it parked in it’s usual place. As I started towards it, the bus pulled away and went down a small street I didn’t know. I started chasing it, through more and more unfamiliar roads, always catching glimpses of it turning in the distance. Finally, I caught up to where the driver was picking up another bunch of kids, from another kindergarten. It seems the same bus is used by several different schools.

Along with this train-shaped bus, there’s another one which arrives at the school at the same time. The second bus is shaped like a rocket ship, with a big USA along the side, boosters on the back and fins. Next time I see that one, I’ll rush down and take a picture.

EDIT: I saw the bus again today, this time by chance, on the way to the station. I managed to snap a couple of pictures with my iPhone.
