I date from 1964 so I was indeed a relative latecomer to London. Made up for it since, mind you....... Trolleybuses and all those 1950s pea-soupers for a start. As it happens I had been through London before then, en route to Dover for trips to family in Germany. This involved a walk from Victoria Coach station to Victoria Station. I remember being very puzzled at all the buses being Green (as we were walking past all the Green Line stops). -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |

I remember seeing that in Trafalgar Square on my first ever visit to London Easter 1980.) I still think of it as running from Barking to Beckton Gas Works.
