| Southampton
was a world apart from Winchester, both the
city and the bus depot. There were far more
crews, it took about three years to go round
the main rota and there were other rotas.
Staff shortages were normal and there was
often so much overtime you could choose what
to do. Sometimes an inspector would give you
time off from your duty if you would do another
shift immediately afterwards, even if this
meant cancelling a service. |
|
| Other
times they would give you a start time as
'spare' (stand-by) and sort out the actual
journeys later. Double shifts were common
as, unlike drivers who were restricted by
law, conductors could work as many hours as
they wanted. It was not unusual for the driver
and passengers on one bus to be waiting for
a conductor to arrive on another. |
|
| The
bus station was at West Marlands while the
garage was in Grosvenor Square. Mostly we
operated routes to Millbrook (35), Calmore
(36), Testwood (36A), Salisbury (37), Bishop's
Waltham (43), Botley (44), Winchester (47)
Hiltingbury (47A), Fair Oak or Winchester
(48), Moorgreen (West End) (51), West End
(54), Langley or Lepe Beach (58), Fawley or
Calshot (59), Romsey (61, 62, 63), Nursling
(61A), Hamble (71) and Thornhill (88, 88A).
|
|
| There
was a separate rota, known as the 'A' rota,
for the Bournemouth services (13, 19, 20 and
later on the 27). Some duties were set aside
on the 'coach' rota for coach drivers when
they were not away. Conductors on these duties
never knew who they would be working with.
There was also the 'S' rota, mostly schools
and works buses. At times crews operated over
the one-man routes 38, 39, 40 50, 56, 57 and
60 and also on some journeys between the Central
Station and the Red Funnel or channel ferries
(52). As at Winchester the one-man routes
were on the 'X' rota. |
