@fatcontroller70 That's what ibus is for! (assuming the driver has it switched on!)

Lovely little movie of Seventies London it looked so civilised & safe I noticed the Clippie walking home alone at half past twelve at night you could not possibly do that now for fear of getting attacked or even murdered.

[BristolRE]

I agree 100%. This country of ours has changed so much - for the worse.

Fascinating little film.Good old London Transport.

[BristolRE]

Yes, it's a shame that they dont make similar films these days, would be good to look back on in years to come.

Is this around 1977 to 1979 ?? Oh dear, oh dear. the passengers look a bit different now unfortuneatly. I had garages in SE London and saw the RAPID change from 1980 on, bad, really bad. Thats why I live on the Isle of Wight, part of the white exodus,

For Anna and her boyfriend, it's 2 seats in the circle, then supper afterwards...I'll bet the bloke's got other ideas about 'supper'

[fatcontroller70]

shame they did away with conductors the poor blind fella would probably end up getting lost

I used to red bus rover it in the 70's and also London country rovers but now I would most likely get beaten up by yobby gangs of shit so it would be to dangerous. even when I use the tube now I am looking.

I moved to co Durham now and it is like the 70's up there I mean no schvarzers

Great times. I wish they'd never ended.

Yes scruttart, times have changed , I used to walk in some very dark isolated places at night in London working with British Rail and felt totally safe .
