The Routemaster my school bus. Fun days!!.
The 37 was one of those long routes. It went from Houslow to Peckham so the timetable was "flexible" which ment turning the busses around at one of the many chosen locations so we ended up with a depleted service.

Our solutions to the homeward bound bus trip.
The bus had to had to deviate from the direct route to get under the railway.
Our foot route was to come south down College Road after school.
1. Us early/ on time. Turn right to the bus stop.
2. Us a little late . Turn left and sprint after the bus knowing it had to slow down, change down gears to turn right and crawl up the slope. Many folks must have thought we ere doomed to failure as the bus was initially accelerating away from us.
3. Us even later. Run straight across the London Road dodging the trafiic.
Run through the carpark along side the railway turn left under a low railway bridge and leap on board at the next stop.
Mad days !!!
