Since I moved to Birmingham I have spent a lot of time on a night bus.
I usually travel back to Glasgow on one as its the only way I can afford to see my Mum and mates back home.
It's a very weird feeling trying to sleep on a night bus, like you enter a liminal space where all you can dream about is the journey you are currently on.
I wonder if other people on the bus dream the same dreams I do, whether they want to or not
