VBL (Luzern) 239 - 4 May 1981

Monday 4 May 1981 – Verkhersbetriebe der Stadt Luzern (VBL) 239 during a quick call at the main bus station as it passed through on cross city service 4 from Hubelmatt to Wesemlin. The services have only a short dwell time at this stop as other services (1, 2 and 4/5) share the same wires and platform (Perron 2). They arrived via Pilatusstrasse, called at Perron 2, departed crossing the main city bridge (Seebrücke) and continued along Schweizerhofquai before diverging to their different destinations. For example between 0700 and 0730 the following departures took place: 0700 (1), 0703 (2), 0703 (4/5), 0706 (1), 0709 (2), 0709 (4/5), 0712 (1), 0715 (2), 0715 (4/5), 0718 (1), 0721 (4/5), 0721 (2), 0724 (1), 0727 (2), 0727 (4/5) etc. The stone building forming the backcloth is the Hotel Monopol where I stayed during this trip. My room (possibly on the top floor) offered a great view of the bus station area!
