Cross-London Bus Transfer & Discount London Bus Pass

The night time Inter Station bus was much older than that; I think it dated back to the 1960s or even earlier. (Someone will be along to tell us all shortly.) [Enter a someone] Evening all! I can date it as far back as 1949, and I suspect it goes back even further, perhaps to the creation of the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933. In 1949 it was the "London Termini Inter-Station Bus Service" and ran "Daily (Christmas Day Excepted)" for a fare of one shilling (5p in new money). But it was primarily an evening service, operating every half hour from about 7 p.m. to midnight, then with an extra service around 4 a.m. It operated from Kings Cross to Waterloo via Euston, Paddington and Victoria, and vice versa. By 1961 though it had shrunk to a few fitful workings around midnight, but was still advertised in the railway timetable. -- Joyce Whitchurch, Stalybridge, UK ================================= |
