Tallinn

 Whilst in Helsinki, Frank took the ferry to Tallinn. Frank saw some T*****ybuses (had to be blanked out as I couldn't possibly put one on this blog!) - so positioned himself to photograph the articulated ones, twice he lined up for a shot when a normal diesel bus came by and ruined the view. Took him 30 minutes to get a decent photo!
