No there certainly isn't. When were filming buses at St Margaret's Bus Station afterwards there was someone (which I've seen at other bus stations) going onto the concourse & around the back of the buses when they could reverse at any minute. One of the drivers saw them & told them to head back to were pedestrians should walk & after the driver had gone they went around the back of the buses anyway. Someone else tried to enter the bus station through one of the bay doors from the outside & it wouldn't open.

@@TheBusEnthusiast I knew it! The Interconnect Roadcar livery introduced in 2001 was recreated. If however I had got hold of an East Lancs Pyoneer (which were the last ever stepped entrance buses manufactured in 1997), I would've loved to have it repainted it into the Roadcar Interconnect livery introduced in 1999 when that brand was first introduced on the Route 6 between Lincoln and Skegness that year, though that livery did differ slightly because it had Hi-Liner on the double decked East Lancs Pyoneers, whereby the single decked Wright Scanias had Lo-Liner because of them being low-floored. Sometimes though, I would wonder if the "Connect 6" brand introduced in 1998 when Roadcar introduced those East Lancs Pyoneers for the route between Lincoln and Skegness was a trial between them and Lincolnshire County Council for the upcoming Interconnect brand the following year.....
