\u00a0PLEASE NOTE<\/p>\n
Earlier, the fbbs travelled from Seaton to Llandudno for a short break c\/o Daish’s Holidays. The company informed them that Wifi was only available in communal rooms. In case this presents a problem, fbb has prepared and posted min-blogs to appear from Monday 9th Sept to Friday 13th Sept inclusive.<\/span><\/p>\n However, North Waiian matter may be added if practicable.<\/span><\/p>\n ==========================<\/span><\/p>\n Luton To Uxbridge In 1977 (2)<\/span><\/p>\n Like yesterday;s time points, there have been numerous changes in the 44 years between then and now. And in this section we have a change of route and greater road and rail integrations.<\/p>\n In 1977, the “independent Girls School” time point is replaced by the far more useful …<\/p><\/div>\n Additional outbuildings were progressively added …<\/p>\n … until it was a very substantial site.\u00a0<\/p>\n Its replacement is a block of low rise (and possibly posh) maisonette type flats.<\/p>\n The flats and the garage are\/were just across the road from a splendid church, also on St Peters Street. Can you guess the name of its Patron Saint?<\/p>\n The main, and by far the busiest stops in St Albans are strung out along St Peters Street.<\/p>\n But then London Transport country bus division avoids any thought of integrated transport. The 1977 route does not serve St Albans City bus and rail stations whilst today,s 321 does.<\/p>\n Neither does London Transport mention St Albans Abbey Station. This is the te terminus of the short single track line from Watford Junction and an elderly aerial view reveals you why fbb used to refer to it as Siy Albans Gasworks<\/span> station!<\/p>\n It used to be quite a presentable terminus …<\/p>\n … and is now electrified …<\/p>\n … but somewhat more basic.<\/p>\n But you could alight from your 321 and complete the journey by train.<\/p><\/div>\n Pretty much all of it is called Watford Road<\/span>!\u00a0<\/p>\n The next 1977 time point is:-<\/p>\n\n A little earlier in Watford was Leavesden Road bus garage …<\/p>\n And then to …<\/p>\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Watford Market<\/span><\/p>\n Much of the High Street is now buses only and some sections are a bit unhelpfully processed on Google Streetview. Many buildings have changed and the Rose and Crown no longer exists.<\/p><\/div>\n
