Maybe a little earlier - when the last trolley bus routes were still running.
But weren't a lot of the Bournemouth Corporation buses Fleetlines? There was a
lovely variety between the Corporation and H&D in the late 60's, various Leyland
Titans including full fronts and St Helens ones, the trolleys - some were only 8
years old on withdrawal:o( - and a pretty full range of Bristols - KSW, LD, FS,
FL, FLF, LS, MW, RE - including the Sandbanks ferry cutaway rear single deckers.
Then H&D had the old K driver trainer that was left idling all night in cold
weather to use to tow start other buses as needed.

If you could revisit the bus station for just one day in history,
which day would that be?

My choice would be a summer's day in 1974, just as the NBC corporate
livery was displacing H&D green, but with a fascinating selection of
old Bristols still trundling round. And over at the Square there
would be masses of Atlanteans in yellow with maroon trim to choose
from...

Over to you!
