Half A Cheer For The NHS?<\/span><\/p>\n But here goes …<\/p>\n Linslade Moved!<\/span><\/p>\n To the west of the railway is very little apart from the village of Surecot, now named Southcott.<\/p>\n By the inter war period, the original Linslade, home of Linslade Manor …<\/p>\n … had vanished from the map.<\/p>\n Rapid expansion happened from the 1960s leading to todays’s general plan.<\/p>\n The Manor has reappeared with the name Old Linslade – possibly because it had gained additional (and doubtless expensive) housing!<\/p>\n We can now, mentally, superimpose the 1979 minibus routes to Linslade on the present day map.<\/p>\n … but broadly serving the same areas. Knaves Hill (former 4) and Chelsea Green (former 1) still appear on the map but the Bideford Green (former 2) roads have been abandoned and replaced by the wider sweep of Derwent Road.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n A now-defunct timetable exists on-line showing Grant Palmer as the operator.<\/p>\n The estates have a half hourly service, hourly in each direction (36A and 36C).\u00a0<\/p>\n Smart motors!<\/p>\n Also note that, on Saturdays, only an hourly service 36C\u00a0 was operated.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n The route is nearly identical with just a little snip-snip bottom right. But the timetable is reduced to hourly Monday to Friday<\/span>\u00a0and the layout of the times is far less informative. Details of the schedule give too much of a summary to guide the bemused possible passenger.<\/p><\/div>\n Contrast and compare with Grant Palmer’s offering above!\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n So no Sunday buses cross-town! And …<\/p>\n Presumably there is a good reason?<\/p><\/div>\n
