The pics on this thread are something else. I particularly like the ones of the late 70's and through the 80's. Have you seen the vid on Youtube of the old trains going through Edinburgh?

There was billboards saying it was going to be the site of the BBC Hq in Scotland. The BBC obviously changed their minds and it became the Omni centre.

The bus (sometimes two) would take the kids down to Goldenacre for some type of sporting activities. Yep - I used to get them in the 80’s...rugby was always last period for the different years so used to get the bus down to Goldenacre, rugby for an hour and then home from there- worked well for me living in Newhaven not do much for mates that lived the other end of the town !!
