    Wow! This brings back some memories! I knew people who worked in South Croydon bus garage back in 1986. I used to work no more than 5 to 10 minutes from there. I also remember when the buses went through Croydon High Street. Such memories and such great changes to the High Street since then!

    If anybody was keen eyed you may have spotted a Metobus on the 68 That was me driving, it was subbed from a RM at Norwood and my conductor and I took it to TC and then ran it back to Norwood It was the only time a crew operated Metrobus ever ran on the 68.

    The street lights are still the same 27 years later! Pity the RM's are no more, I often used to pass here(TC)

    When Croydon was a place you could proudly say you live in. Now I'd be embarrassed to say I live and work here. It looks like Brixton and Southall in one big curry pot

    Those buses don't seem like a thing of the past. The striking thing is the cars of 1986 look butters.
