I met George on a bus, I first saw John on a bus, George auditioned on a bus. Penny Lane was the bus depot. If I was visiting John I could go from my place in Forthlin Road to Penny Lane change and go up to his place in Menlove Avenue. I just like buses. - Paul McCartney
To paraphrase 5th Beatle Abbey Road Producer George Martin, If you believe as I do that a bus, like a house, has atmosphere and is capable of absorbing the personalities and emotions of its inhabitants you will have no difficulty appreciating the unique quality of Paul McCartney's 1972 Wings Tour Bus WNO 481 - Tom Jennings
