llywelaWell, that was all fun and games. Caught my bus into work as usual and before we were even half way, a fire alarm went off and we ended up stranded for ages while the driver tried to switch it off.
I’m not sure whether to be concerned or not that none of us actually evacuated the bus on hearing the alarm. We all just sat there looking at each other, going, “Is it going to stop? Is the bus on fire? Should we get off? When’s the next one due? Will it be packed already?” and when the alarm suddenly became even more shrill and insistent, we actually burst out laughing.
Because the bus wasn’t on fire. But the alarm wouldn’t stop and the poor driver was going nuts trying to silence it.
In the end he decided to try moving the bus a bit because it was blocking the road and as soon as he turned the engine back on, the alarm stopped. So that was that!
