I am grateful to Dave James, now from Australia, for
sending the following -
"The pictures of the Amersham Bus Garage reminded me of the time my sister
(Valerie) & myself attended a Christmas party at the garage.
During 1955, my Mum's boyfriend was a Greenline Coach Conductor by the
name of John Barry (an Irishman), and I can well recall going on a free
trip with him on the (I think it was) Caterham route, although we didn't
actually get to Caterham because we changed coaches with the crew of the
Amersham-bound coach from Caterham at Thornton Heath somewhere in outer
London. This exchange apparently enabled both crews to be home earlier on
the shift.
Anyway, as the Christmas (1955) festivities neared, John asked my sister
and myself if we'd like to attend a Christmas Party put on by the Staff at
the Bus Garage, and naturally we were both extremely keen. John acquired
the necessary tickets and Valerie & myself were both so excited about
the upcoming event. I well remember that the evening was a fantastic
success and the staff of the Garage did us youngsters (I was 13 years old
and Valerie was 11 years old at the time) extremely proud.
Above is a picture from the party (photographer unknown, and I don't know
how my Mum came to be in possession of these pictures - she passed them on
down to me a couple of years ago and I didn't even know she had them). I
am the cocky-looking kid on the left with the white upside-down
'half-moon' hat on.
Another picture from the party showing the wonderful spread set out
by the Amersham Bus Garage Staff that evening. I am the boy in the exact
center of the photo (with a white smudge going over my forehead)."
Does anyone recognise anybody in these pictures - I expect Dave would like
to know email the web master
