Title: 666 - The Number of the Bus. Post by: JayMac on June 15, 2023, 08:50:59 From Notes from Poland (https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/06/14/end-of-the-line-for-polands-666-bus-to-hel/):
Quote (https://i.ibb.co/5My9qCC/Faw-X4-Aw-WIAA-SV7aaa.jpg) Poland’s most famous bus line – the 666 to Hel, a town on the Baltic coast – has been brought to an end after its operator received repeated complaints about the choice of number, which one Christian group warned was “spreading Satanism”. The 666 bus ran during summer months between the village of Dębki and the town of Hel, which is located at the end of a peninsula – also called Hel – that separates the Baltic Sea from the Bay of Puck. The area, famous for its sandy beaches, is a popular tourist destination. continues I wonder if there was onboard music featuring Chris Rea and AC/DC on a loop.

Hard to think of anything that defines hell better than sitting on a bus for hours listening to Chris Rea. Title: Re: 666 - The Number of the Bus. Post by: JayMac on June 15, 2023, 15:34:58 Hard to think of anything that defines hell better than sitting on a bus for hours listening to Chris Rea. I'd happily rock out to AC/DC though.
