The Full List of MGO routes
replied on: 11/23/2004 5:00:37 PM In the mid-50s, it was a pleasure to travel on the old B1 to Nottingham. This being mainly for boosting the profits of the old 'Sisson & Parkers' book and map Etc. shop. From that time onwards, that travelling pleasure dcreased considerably for the public, till in the early 1960s, the journey from Nottingham especially, became highly uncomfortable and dangerous to say the least. The bus was constantly full to over-loading, even the isles too. If you were one of the lucky? ones who managed to grab a seat, you risked losing your sight from the constantly moving umbrella points, handbags, boxes and practically everything else as well, as the people in the packed isle shoved and swayed in response to each road corner and bump in the road as the bus s l o w l y trundled between each 10 yard spaced bus stop. At least, that's what it felt like. If you weren't depressed before you got on the bus, don't worry, you would be, till the uplifting sense of freedom engulved you as the B1 sardine tin trundled/shuddered, creaked/groaned to a gasping stop on Heanor Market. Never again. The above conditions mainly applied to Fridays and Saturdays, but eventually began to spread throughout the week. Azzabuv.
