Eastern Scottish Omnibuses Ltd.

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.  

WAS A DRIVER FOR 20 YRS WITH EASTERN

Served my time as a coachpainter from 1975 to 1979 at Marine works. I was there until they made most of us redundant in 1989. Good times though and miss the banter.
