We always welcome more memories, suggestions for what you might cover are here.  And if you have photos you'd like to share, let us know.

 

Elsewhere, if you haven't read it, do look at Doris Hazell's memories as a tram and bus conductor during and after the war.  There is also David Streatfield's blog 40 years on the buses, including early stints at Edgware and Uxbridge in the 1960s.  I might also mention a couple of excellent books - Stan Collins' 'The Wheels Used to Talk To Us' about trams and J. S. Wagstaff's 'Bus Crew - London 1924-1970' in which Jim and May Cooke talk about their days on the buses from London's Bromley Garage.
