Service 361 linked Rønde-Knebel-Knebelbro-Helgenæs seven days a week but the link between Knebelbro and Skødshoved operated on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays only plus one inward Friday evening journey. This area is popular for holiday recreation featuring many summer houses that the city dwellers escape to whenever they can.

Thursday 26 May 1988 - Scania CN112AL articulated bus seen at Aahrus bus station. Operated by HHJ (Hads-Ning Herreders Jernbane) an independent railway company, on the route to Odder that paralleled their railway service. The licence plate carried at the rear was different than that carried on the front of the bus which was new in June 1987. I surmised that articulated buses must have fallen under the same regulations as articulated lorries whereby a trailer carries its own registration plate. So on that principal the bus has one plate and the trailer another - although it would be a challenge to separate them!
