Another fascinating photo of a double decker (the 284..Shop at Binns on the back!) in Lincoln Road.

How many of us knew that the layby that is still there today was then the Green Lane Terminus!

Notice the 1950s-period concrete shelter and United bus stop flag.'

UPDATE: Tony Walshaw has provided the actual bus route from 1979:

The route from town was via Granville Terrace, Coast Road, Lilac Grove, Oak Road and then the terminal loop was via Canterbury Road, Laburnum Road, Lincoln Road, Green Lane, Oak Road, Chester Road to the crossroads with Canterbury Road, then turn right onto Canterbury Road and back to town.

Wow, who remembers the days when double deckers (namely the 284 to Green Lane) used to travel along Laburnum Road?

They would certainly have helped keep the trees well trimmed!

No speed bumps and road markings too.

'When the town service was the second car....👍

Notice the residential roads uncluttered by parked vehicles, undamaged grass verges etc.'
