@soundnicetome How right you are. I see daily the huge monsterous buses belching out black filth and deafening all in sight with their noisy, smelly & toxic diesel engines. Really uncomfortable to tavel in also. And all the time the lunatic powers that be talk about providing more eco friendly transport!

Great memories. I used to go to school on the 696 every day, until they stopped in about 1960

@937ken My mother was a bus conductor out of Fulwell ! She worked the 267 and the 281 :) I was very young and just about remember trolley buses just before they were put out of service :)

Elegant and impressing - wish I could have seen them in London.
The fading colors make the images look almost surrealistic.
Great films!

Part of the problem with these 'buses was the unslighlty overhead wires
didnt fit in with the modern image! so lets withdraw them for diesels,havnet got a clue have we

I pissed myself at 2.36...

Oh yeah - I also seem to remember on occasion the driver (or conductor) getting a long pole from underneath the bus to poke the pickup arms back into place after they had come adrift from the overhead wires!

Excellent! That brings back some (very distant) memories. That's Kingston Bridge towards the end unless I'm much mistaken. I remember going to Kingston with my Mum on the trolleybus (664) from Hampton Court when I was very young. I couldn't have been more than 4 if they were withdrawn in 1962.
Trolley buses should never have been withdrawn.They were excellent buses,far superior to todays load of old tosh.Still,this is so called progress ...I DONT THINK SO !!!!

It is fantanstic. I was a driver at Fulwell depot and the 667 was my favourite route. I also drove 1521 on the special run in the afternoon of the last day with No. 1
