Memories.

Came across the blog of an old colleague a couple of days. I've been reading through some of his entries from the days when we worked together driving the Green Line Coaches, he driving the 706/7 to Chelsham, and I on the 708 to East Grinstead. I lived half-way between Tring and Hemel garages, and could travel in to work at Hemel on the 706, sign-on and take the following 708. Getting back to Hemel at the end of the day, it was a quick pay-in ( I would be cashed up by Watford ), and get out on the stop to travel home on the following 706. This certainly saved a lot of money - which could be conveniently spent in the George and Dragon at Northchurch when the 706 dropped me off - strangely, the coach always seemed to roll just past home before the brakes eventually bit just outside the pub!!!
