On The Buses

A Memory of Haywards Heath.

I was a bus conductor on the Southdown based at the bus station in the early 1960's and later when I returned in the late 1960's I worked as a bus driver out of the station until about 1969. My wife was a nurse at Cuckfield Hospital and we lived in Burgess Hill. I worked in the ticket office of the railway station in about 1959. The manager of the Perrymount would let us know if their programme was running late and all the last buses would wait. I remember the town and surrounding villages being full of happy and contented people.
