Working The Manchester Busses 1966 1980

!966 I was hired by Manchester Coperation Busses as a trolley conductor I was 18 1/2 years old , I worked the last 6 months of trolley life on Ashton New Road, working out of Stephenson Sq.
They were the best years of my working life, and worked with a smashing bunch of men from all over the UK.
Piccadilly was a beautiful place, here was where many bus roads terminated, our canteen was upstairs and a grand breakfast could be had with a steaming mug of tea for a few bob.
I left there in July 1980 and worked for the TTC Toronto Canada . but nowt was like the fun we had working the busses back home.
Very fond memories.
