I grew up in Hounslow in the sixties. Favourite buses were the 110 & 111, going right past my road near the Warren pub. Routemasters that you could jump on/off between stops. If there was no bus in sight you just walked to the next stop. Usually got into town before the bus ;)
@michael leitch A few years ago, I was on a bus going down Kingsley Road towards the High Street, during a dark evening, and if I hadn't known otherwise, I might have wondered if I was in High Street, Islamabad; what with the many cheap halal takeaways. Trying Hounslow High Street during the day, well that's just a case of spot the white man. I discovered recently that Hayes has now also fallen.
Brings back good memories - I used to ride the number 111 bus from Hounslow east to Heathrow airport every day for about 6 years.
Those were the days! Mecca Bingo in the background, C&A, Brentford Nylons, Ruffeltons all gone now! The Chariot Pub & The Duke of Cambridge!

Memories😄
Ah, the 110. I used to work at Coombes near C&A, which still shows a bakery in the video but i was there the other day and wow it’s a dump now.
Thats the first time ive seen a 235 double decker is in this video. 😄😄. They are all single deckers.
Hounslow, now a Third World dustbin.
CrankCase08 yup

Why do you say that?
@@Thrill_Hou I think I already made that clear.
@@CrankCase08 oh yes, sorry. I didn’t see your racist tirade up there. As you were.
