    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!

    Always fancied a shot of driving one of these buses and still do.

    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.

    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

      @Wekeepitabagoverhere Born here, so I'm back in 'my own country'. I just live in much better place than the shithole you obviously do live in😉

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