Hi martin,
I am searching all this for my dad who was born in Bournemouth in the 1930's and
he remembers seeing the buses and coaches coming in - especially the Royal
Blues.
He used to live at Bishop Road and his father had a hairdressers in Crimea Road
Winton.
The facility at Rutland Road was an overnight service area wasn't it? He
remembers that it was all surrounded by very high hedges - well it was in his
time.
I don't suppose you have any photos at all?
I have managed to get a few photos of Royal Blues and some of the main bus
station and posted them to the group today.
Anything else you can add would be gratefully received.
best wishes
Andy
