HI David

I believe you are also on SEMG? The last trolley ran on 20
apr 1969. I agree with you, I was there a couple of years ago for the first
time in about 40 yrs having been born in Poole in 1949. The square is now
very poor much nicer when it was full of flowers. The old bus station was
burnt down, I remember the Royal Blues and the ramp up to the hants and
dorset station. Did you go down to see the site of Bournemouth West
station? The old Midland Hotel is still there. Bournemouth Lower Gardens
are still as I remember them with the bandstand and aviary. No one floats
their boats in the stream anymore though, it's all gaming machines now!



Best Regards



John

Could somebody please tell me when the last Bournemouth Corp Trollybuses ran

?
I was already in Canada by the time this happened. When I was last living
there in 1959 I would never have thought that they would one day be removed.

I was in the Square in November 2007 and could not believe how different
that the centre core (The Square) has become. I must say that for me it was
a sad sight.

(Especially not seeing the old bus station)

I realize that this maybe off topic so forgive me !!
