cookingfat50 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hey! less of the "old" ha! ha! I think I fall into this catagory, Malcolm Smith, first with STD, then all the other combinations up to 1997 when I took early retirement. Living the life of Riley now in Scarborough! I remember the inspector a bus driver friend of mine told me how they would wait a bus stops to make sure they arrived on time and left on time the driver could be in trouble if he was to earl or late. I used to aee inspectors handing around a cabin at the bottom of high street near where the hole in the road was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little malc Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 the cabin that the above mentions just had a telephone and bus timetables plus any other paperwork needed by the inspector in High St. If anyone remembers some of the inspectors I can mention that Graham Bradshaw passed away recently and only two weeks ago Bill Jarvis.

Hi Malc, sorry to hear of wobble gobs demise I lived across the road from Graham and knew him when he was driving wagons and he was some one I always got on with. Regarding the post about Inspectors hiding to catch you I had a few after me Ginger Lenton , Insp. Norton the first time I was on then John Hunt, Maurice Ibbertson and another who I can't remember his name but they all failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padders Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hi Malc, sorry to hear about Graham, another bus legend bites the dust. Keep the info coming. First met Bill Jarvis when I transferred to Greenland, found him to be a proper gent. As regards Phantom's post - Tommy (Ginger) Lenton was Area Inspector for Hillsborough in late 60's early 70's. Smashing bloke, always chatting Basset's girls up. His son, who I think you refer to, was Dennis Lenton, another smashing chap, did a lot of restoration work on old cars. Never had too much to do with Lee Norton and John Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
