Hehehehehee yeh remember that - did it deter some of the youngsters nope specially on the school runs when some lads thought it was clever to spit down the stairwell from top & compete to see if they could hit every step - hitting someone with spittal was a bonus uuurrrggghhhh:(

Them days being able to smoke on buses top deck :rolleyes:

I take it your dad was a bus driver - hence the collection?

Have u old piccy of up here then?:D

No I don't. I'd love to see some shots from the 70s up around Fern Gore and Green Haworth. Apart from the trees and the fact that our pen was leveled I don't think the top end of Fern Gore or Miller Fold as changed.

Have you got a big fancy house or just a lot of land to keep those buses on ?

Strange isn’t it. You’d think we’d grow up or forget. I use to get excited when I use to see our Buses coming in to Blackpool, always wanted to climb on and come home. I never did though.

I think they replace them in about 1970. I remember they put solid floors down a little afterwards and the last thing we got was the little black and white boiler stoves.
