From what I can see, the players must be pretty much all on the bus because the top deck of the middle vehicle on which the players will ride – that’s the claret-coloured one – looks pretty full.
You wouldn’t get the conductor up there now to check your tickets.
So I think they must be nearly ready to set off.
The first of the fleet of three has some of the club’s media on board, and also by the look of it, some family members of the players.
if you’re waiting on the route, the first thing you’ll see, though, is going to be the police outriders.
