There is still a service you can use for free

Found this article on the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-24984705
Also found this pic of it in action:
Ah, a platform, one picture paints a thousand words.
Fascinating pictures
Interesting, it would appear you can load & climb aboard from either side, I can't imagine there were any doublesided loading bays as that would be a tight squeeze to get the bus in.
I like the specialist cycling outfits the ladies are wearing, I wonder if the shoes are Shimano.
Those halcyon days where you could leave your bike out of sight, safe in the knowledge nobody would nick it whilst you were sitting on the top deck of the bus and when accessibility meant a ladder before you got to the stairs.
It seems to have a running board to allow you to step up to get your bike in the rack - must have been fun, none of your 6.8kg in those days.
