Hold very tight please

On cold windy nights when Hove-bound Ourstorians have to wait a very long time for a bus home, their hearts are now sometimes warmed by the arrival of Brighton's latest diesel dyke, Dr Helen Boyle, masquerading as a number 49 bus.

A recent arrival at the depot, Dr Boyle spent fifty years of her life helping sick women and children in Brighton, accompanied by a series of female companions.

To find out more about this talented, determined and compassionate woman, visit www.womenofbrighton.co.uk (will open in a new window) and to find out even more, take a look at issue no 12 of this newsletter.

Thanks go to Val Brown for nominating Dr Boyle to Brighton & Hove Bus Company.
