Advantages: Stylish, good range of features Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection
...I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities.
The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front.

...the full English breakfast (and I do mean full!) and four-course dinner on the way back, leaving you with only your drinks bill to settle before getting off, in my case at Finsbury Park. Entry to the museum and shuttles to-and-from Lowestoft Station in vintage buses were also included.
THE MUSEUM EXHIBITS
First impressions are that it's not very big, as a walk around the site will confirm, seemingly one hundred meters wide and about three hundred long. However, once it all comes to life, it starts to feel much more realistic.
Yesterday was a 'London Trolleybus Gala Day'; my reason for going. This is a working museum - very few exhibits are permanently static. Yesterday, for example, we had a range of say ten different trolley buses and a clutch of trams running the main street for all its three hundred yards, along with a vintage...
