argyjambo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 7 hours ago, Maroon Sailor said: Eastfield terminus Regent Road Post Office instead of the route on the 26. Strange That's because, in those days, the 26 went up Montrose terrace and along Regent road. The stop in Waterloo Place would serve the GPO which then, was very much still in operation.
