| I
have been trying to remember the buses at
Winchester when I started in 1967. Here is
what I have been able to come up with so far.
The double deckers are almost right but I
have only a vague memory of the single deckers.
I remember using an L6 on an Andover trip,
the one where I dropped all my money! We used
to call these buses 'spaceships'. I am sure
we had an LS, one can just be seen lurking
in the garage in the first photo on the Hants
& Dorset Bus Photos page in my Bus Museum.
But I think we must have had three single
deckers as they were used on 66s, 67s and
68s. Any further information would be gratefully
received. The depot code was white on blue. |

| After
a gradual changeover during the previous decade,
the introduction of full driver-only services
meant the end for the last of the crew buses
in 1980. Winchester bus station opened in
1935 and the site is expected to be redeveloped
soon, the garage having already been moved
to Bar End. |
