    Although I was born & lived in Reading for the first 28 years of my life, I was very familiar with the bus stations & public transport of both Woking & Guildford as I spent so many holiday periods there because I had numerous relations residing in the Woking area. As a youngster I was an avid loco & bus spotter in both towns. During the 1940s I inhabited many sites no longer present, the like of Guildford loco shed as I used to cycle from Woking up to an entrance located from Farnham Road railway bridge. There were two bus stations attainable, one on Onslow Street & the other, basically adjacent, on Farnham Road.
    In Woking most buses dropped of on Commercial Road, quite close to the Atlanta Ballroom which I happened to enter once in my life for a game of Bingo along with my future wife who lived close to some of my relative. This however was some years following my transport era & I had completed National Service. The old Aldershot Traction garage was situated on the corner of the Victoria Arch & Goldsworth Road. I could, of course, write reams on both these fine towns but I shall have to leave it at that.

    I got the 408 bus from Guildford to Leatherhead every day in 1988. I was trying to spot my old bus(!)

    Here in East Surrey my 410 route has been taken over by Stagecoach after a long service by Southdown PSV which gave a good a service on these shortened routes. Leave the first car at home .. I did and wasted a whole morning as the first bus took the wrong route and by-passed my stop the next bus crawled at walking pass up hills. Having arrived at Redhill I completed my business and set of for the bus Home, nothing turned up, this is a half hourly service so I wait only to hear the bus has broken down. SO I WAIT. Never again for what was a bus service to be trashed with replaced broken buses and the good ones moved elsewhere,
    I grew up with LT green buses that travel miles linking with London and Green Line that took you over most of the Southeast and Home Counties. Travel to London first class on Green Line. It's gone and a broken service

    I remember the far reaches of London Transport and Green Line services. The break up of LT has left us with a mess that now is being swollowed up by Stagecoach under so many different names. Here in Surrey our great LT buses gone and we now have a useless service of no point under Stagecoach.
