Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am looking for a front for
a 1976 fleetline ex-bournemouth transport bus. I am searching high and
low and no-one seems able to help me. I am in the process of restoring
the bus and this is the one thing I can't seem to get my hands on. I
was wondering if you have any telephone numbers or web sites that will
help me.
Many thanks
David

Hello Folks

From 1965 till 1971 I was employed as a conductor on H&D, first at
Bournemouth , later at Poole.

Having just discovered this site and having a quick look at some of
the posts,  a lot of old memories are being refreshed.

I agree that Bournemouth Bus Station was the nicest. From my seat in
the staff canteen -on the firsts floor - I could overlook nearly all
the platforms and see what what going on all over.

Are there any other ex staff on this site ?

My favourite type of bus to work on was the older open platform ones.
The conductor could oversee everything the passengers were up to both
below and upstairs from the platform .The passengers were mainly
facing away from you so you could have a crafty smoke during a quiet
moment.

The least liked were the front loading  type. The conductor's station
was right at the front and you felt that the passengers were all
staring at you. Also harder to be in full control. If you were facing
backward towards the passengers you missed seeing the road in front.
So more difficult to anticipate when the the bus was going to brake or
swerve in response to a traffic incident ahead.
If you faced the front then you weren't  scanning the passengers so
you would be bound to miss the signs of an old lady getting a bit
restless as her stop was coming up. That would mean her missing her
stop and getting a justly deserved telling off.

Also the much older buses had ordinary light bulbs - it was at the
time when flourecent lights were just coming in .  During the winter
mornings when your hands got very cold, you could take out one the
light bulbs and use it to warm your hands 'til it got cold. Then you
would put it back in and take out another one.

I could go on about the the tricks we got up to in those days - making
little bonfires of the contents of used ticket box, the visits to the
pub during the country journeys - the pranks seemed endless.

Must go now , it's bedtime

Dear All
          Just come back from a trip to Bournemouth after 50 yrs. What a
mess they have made of the Square!!! My question is however, I remember
route 7 Bournemouth - Swanage via Canford Cliffs and the Chain Ferry
but which route did 106 take to Swanage ?

Thanks John

I have recently added some of my pics of H&D vehicles in West Wales
with Silcox at Pembroke Dock. You might like to refresh your memories

Hi Bob,
I too attended Winton & Moordown School but it was probably just before your
time there
- i was there from 1947 - 1949 when I left to go to Bournemouth School having
passed
the 11+ at second attempt. I lived in Ensbury Park &  had some good friends at
W&M - one
of whom was David Wilmshurst - with whom it would be nice to make contact again.
David
had a bike & we would roam around the area with me sitting on the cross bar -
not so
much traffic then of course & for us kids there seems to have be so much more
freedom
than now.

all best wishes to the people of & from Bournemouth for the Christmas & the new
year.

Vic

Hi Bob,

Welcome to the site.

I used to live in Winton at 55 Talbot Avenue right next door to the boys home.

I have been in Canada since March 22 1959.

I have fond memories of the Bournemouth Corporation Trolleybuses and also the
Royal Blues and Hants and Dorset buses.

I used to work at Woolworths in the Square before I came to Canada..

Check my homepage out. Click on Bournemouth Buses for some pics that I took when
I was back there last in 1988.

Breaking  news - front page of the Echo - Wilts & Dorset are moving back
into Bournemouth!!!!  They are planning to move some of their vehicles to a
base at Southcote Road where Excelsior are based!!!!!!!   The tile used "Bus
company moves on to Yellows' patch TURF WARS".
I think Go Ahead were put out by teh tendering system and the troubles that
were had when Transdev first tried to buy Yellows - no more updates on that
one at the moment though - think it's just going through the process!

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the gallery of pictures.

I notice that some of the pictures show Wilts and Dorset in different
colours than red and white. Are they in the process of changing colours from
red ?

I have some pictures that I took in Bournemouth in 1988 of Yellowbuses on my
homepage. Check the link below.

Hi All

As promised i will now publish my findings from last weekend, when i
spent Friday & Saturday in and around Salisbury, Bournemouth & Poole.

Most importantly AFC Bournemouth beat Doncaster Rovers 2-1 (Best
game of the season so far).

I started my journey at Bath Bus Station aboard 3614, working the
09.20am departure on the X4 to Salisbury (nice Journey, a bit
tedious in places). I then had lunch in the Cafe within Salisbury
Bus Station (Nice Pie, Chips & Beans only £4.00), i made my way to
Bournemouth aboard 3606 ?? which was working the 12.10pm X3. Nothing
unusual to report in Bournemouth Square apart from Graham Leyland
(Poole Driver) running on time through Gervis Place with 2657 on the
new extended 164. I decided to Join Graham on his way back to Poole,
by the way the new 164 route has now got its own rota and is
supposed to be operated every 10 minutes by Poole's contingent of
Solos !!! Whilst i was travelling between, Bournemouth & Poole i
noticed one low floor spectra and a Unilink Volvo coming the other
way both on 164's (Bit of a joke as most of the time the 164 runs
empty, and they had 2 solos working one 97 service from Poole as
there was nearly 80 people waiting to board). Graham was on Spare so
i hung around the Bus Station with him and noticed :

3185 : Signed off with Faulty steering wheel adjuster !!!
Solent Blue line Bread Van in Poole Workshop (See Workshop Photo)
702 with Engine Missing & fitters working on engine in 4904.
3118 in process of having new looms fitted within workshops
3602 : Rear Destination numbers missing, and on workshop bench !!
26?? being towed in with locked brakes and blown airbags (What a
shame)
Various other vehicles in the workshops, with every bay taken the
back of the yard resembles Wombwells Scrapyards !!!

I then made my Way to Football

Saturday i started by getting on the 164 at Alder Road (2657 again),
i then met Graham and Rob in Poole and hung around for a few hours
to get some photos, here are my observations :

3178 : Signed off, water pee*&^ out the back of vehicle in Bus
Station.
705 : Signed off, Couldn't turn hazards off (701 replaces from depot
@ Corfe Mullen).
404 : Injector Porblems, coughing and Spluttering and receiving
attention from the fitters.
107 : Severe rear N/S damage, looks like close encounter with a
bollard.
Driver pleading with inspector to take a Solo on 132 (Wimborne
Complete), instead of 4454 (which replaced the knackered 3178). What
a T&*T.
4424,4450,4453,701,700,4454 & 4430 on 152, 158, 97, 94 & 131/108
multiples.
4417 : Round the back with engine cowling off and oil leaking from
coolant pipes !!!!
Services 5,6,7 allworked by Excels.

I then made my way back to Salisbury aboard the 11.30am X3 (3174), i
then boarded the 15.00 X4 which was worked by First 62242. Nothing
of any interest in Salisbury, and no oily cans about. Once in Bath i
got 3233 on RR work and many other coaches.

I hope this is off interest to you all, and enjoy the new Rail
Replacement Photo Collection i have listed below.

I would be honoured to have my Pictures on your great website, and would love
for a link to my website to be added.

Please contact me if there are any buses in particular you would like me to
photograph for you, as being in Canada it would be a bit hard for you to go Bus
Spotting. And it would be my pleasure to photograph some specific buses for you.

Following my recent post, I've heard from Keith Baynton. I've put his
information into the Summer 2005 newsletter on the BPTA page of the
Preserved Bournemouth Buses website:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/MarkMaidment/btcont.htm

It would be great if lapsed and potential members got in touch with
the membership secretary and helped restore the vibrancy of the group.

I came across your website and was very intrigued.  Before my Family
and I (then 11 yrs.), left England (1966) for Canada, I travelled the
H & D's frequently.  Used the "school bus" from Sandford School to
Holton Heath crossroads.  After an operation at Royal Victoria
Hospital in Boscombe, my mother and I travelled Route "89" which
although stopped at Poole Bus Station, sometimes would carry on to
Bournemouth Bus Station.  If not we would take (from Poole) either
Route 1, 2, 3, or 4 into Bournemouth.  Then we would take one of the
Bournemouth Trolley Buses to Boscombe.
I would enjoy hearing from any Driver or Conductor who was crewed on
Route "89".  Actually I would enjoy hearing from anyone who remembers
that route.
I, myself work for the Toronto Transit Commission as a Subway
Driver/Guard for almost the past 29 years, but I still have very fond
memories of the H & D in and around Wareham, Poole, and
Bournemouth.
