Eastern Scottish Omnibuses Ltd.

I used to drive bus but no longer and my father drove for eastern scottish 

One of these 'students' who filled out the ranks at New Street in the summers.  Myself 1973-75.  So strong memories of the last days of crew operation in the old structure and route network.  

The 'students' had no shift allocation so we saw every route on a different dutycard every day.  I can still navigate central scotland following the E-S (SMT or SOLtd)  routes, from Dunbar to Anderston Cross to Perth and Carlisle.  It's still St Andrew Square on the map but to me it's farestage 01, 'Outward'.  

Amused to obseve that through all the changes, Edinburgh still has 2xRoute16 and 27 to confuse the tourists.  

I'll dig out some photos if I can, to scan.
