When you're old enough to remember riding on the tram in Sheffield and I don't mean the Supertram! All that talk of buses, destination changing and conducting has brought sweet memories, thank you!

If it made you smile Flo, worth every word written in this thread

You certainly got me beat on that one Flo. They'd all gone and been ripped up by the time I arrived. All I remember of them is the token bit of track they left exposed at the end of The Moor. Blackpool was where the trams were at for me I do remember standing in the middle bit of the bendy-busses though

We had Trolley buses that clanked and sparked whenever there was a junction of the overhead wires.
Happy days!!

I remember riding buses with wooden bench seats, we never had trams so obviously one of the younsters on here

I had to travel 16 miles to my school in Birmingham and almost always had to stand all the way because the bus was full. The only compensation was the smell of Cadburys chocolate when we passed the Bournville factory. The key was for his secure box or to open the cover to the device that changed the busses number. Often the conductor would pretend to be changing the number but actually having a pee into the used ticket slot.

You're only old when you lose your humour, so that makes us mere kids
