Remember it in the 1960’s, changed little, the 252 Eastern National buses turned where the taxi rank is by the station, a new station building sits there now, spent 27 years visiting that place, been gone now for 40 years, always nice to this vintage footage - thanks for posting.

I used to get that bus from Wilsons Corner with my parents home to Hutton on a Saturday after the weekly shop

[@jacksugden8190]

At that time it would have been the 252 from Shenfield Rail Station to Woodman Road via the East Ham Crescent, at the time, lived in Pondfield Lane, the other route was the 262 from Hornbeam Close to Bishops Hall Estate which took the same route from the Close, and split at Wilsons Corner, think those Lodekkas were withdrawn in 1981, when the route went OMO with Bristol RE’s and VR classes.
