One of the ‘directors’ apparently drove down, spoke to her, made a phone call and an out of service bus quickly turned up and picked the protesters and animals up and whisked them to Bury all in front of the reporters. The director whoever it was refused to be on camera.

That makes more sense, I thought there were a high number of unoccupied seats on that bus. From her account it sounds like the driver of a few buses refused to pick them up and then the next one did. I'm not sure what the TC would have said had it been a bus in service, you can exactly exit the bus quickly in an emergency if there's a sheep and a horse blocking the aisle!
