Hi Dr Who I saw your Tardis parked outside in the street so I thought I would pop in to say hello. My name is Globalmyths, but most people just call me Global Oh yes a cop is busy outside giving the Tardis a ticket for parking in a handicapped drivers zone.

Remember the Northern 62 Esh Winning bus. When I did my pit training in 1961 at Dame Margaret's Hall Washington used to get it every morning from Mile End Road for 13 weeks. It used to take over an hour to get to Washington and can remember when it left Boldon it criss crossed the railway lines several times before it got to Old Washington.

To Jarrow Pete you will remember Mick the conducter on every day
traveling down the new road boldon colliery if someone was late the bus used to stop at bottom of nearest street and wait a couple of
minuts being late was greeted loud cheer and a hand clap from all on bus.

I remember the Esh Winning bus too! Couldnt remember the number, but I do remember thinking "Why the hell do they have a bus going to Esh Winning"?

Jim it was the No 62 bus. Went camping to Finchale Abbey when I was 14 and the 62 dropped us off there on its way to Esh Winning, a place I have never been to.

I used to use the 62 bus from Mile End Road to get to Chester le Street, that was in the early sixties. It would take an hour to get to Chester le Street having travelled through just about every village in the county. It was very unreliable at nights; often failing to turn up, without any prior notice from the bus company (Northern).
