LT/LCBS street scenes
RM 9 at Brent Cross Shopping Centre on 20 October 1979. I looked on Google for the opening date of the centre and it appears to be March 1976. i also looked at the excellent London Bus Route History web site and that seems to suggest that the 266`s were going into Brent Cross from January 1976.
Something is not right here! In early 1977 I was a conductor at Putney Garage and a schedule change with the loss of some duties created a surplus of conductors. Riverside Garage was short of conductors at that time so I volunteered to be loaned there. The plan was to put me on the 74B`s because of the familiarity with the 74`s at Putney. i said `no thanks`, i want to be on a different route. And in March 1977 I did several shifts on the 266`s. Two things stick in my mind. 1) it was the most manically busy outer suburban route and 2) we never went into Brent Cross because the bus station presumably wasn`t completed by then. West Hendon was the nearby terminus. Can anyone confirm when the bus station opened or when the 266`s started using it?
