Although I was born & lived in Reading for the first 28 years of my life, I was very familiar with the bus stations & public transport of both Woking & Guildford as I spent so many holiday periods there because I had numerous relations residing in the Woking area. As a youngster I was an avid loco & bus spotter in both towns. During the 1940s I inhabited many sites no longer present, the like of Guildford loco shed as I used to cycle from Woking up to an entrance located from Farnham Road railway bridge. There were two bus stations attainable, one on Onslow Street & the other, basically adjacent, on Farnham Road. In Woking most buses dropped of on Commercial Road, quite close to the Atlanta Ballroom which I happened to enter once in my life for a game of Bingo along with my future wife who lived close to some of my relative. This however was some years following my transport era & I had completed National Service. The old Aldershot Traction garage was situated on the corner of the Victoria Arch & Goldsworth Road. I could, of course, write reams on both these fine towns but I shall have to leave it at that.

I remember the far reaches of London Transport and Green Line services. The break up of LT has left us with a mess that now is being swollowed up by Stagecoach under so many different names. Here in Surrey our great LT buses gone and we now have a useless service of no point under Stagecoach.
