London Transport FS3, Southgate Bus Station, 1975

            An LT inspector and the driver of FS3, discuss timetable related matters at Southgate Bus Station in 1975. 

In the early 1970s, minibuses were a rarity on stage carriage services. But in 1972, London Transport purchased twenty 16-seater Dormobile bodied Ford Transit Minibuses (FS1-20). These vehicles were used to provide bus services into Bromley, Dulwich Village and areas of Hampstead & Enfield, where larger buses were either not wanted, or could not access. 

The services were as follows: The W9 served Enfield, the P4 to  Stockwell, the B1 to Bromley and the C11 to Highgate.

The buses tended to be driven by older more experienced drivers who possessed PSV licences to drive manual buses, as the Transits had manual gearbox transmissions. 

The routes were successful, and during 1975 to 1976 the Transits were replaced by Bristol LH midi-buses. 

With thanks to 'Ian's Bus Stop' for the detailed information.
