Just to correct you a moment Carolyn.
The bakery was Howerds (hot bread rolls for a penny on the way to school from the Division St. doorway) and the bus stop outside Howerds was only used by Colliers. The reason for this being that Colliers did the Cwmtillery service clockwise i.e. up Alma St. to Cwmtillery and down Tillery St. Jones's however did the service in the opposite direction and their stop on Tillery St. was outside their booking office on the opposite side of the road from the bakers shop.
Just to make something else clear, the bust that caught fire on Powell St. happened before the `Stute fire and Red & White were not running at that time. Ralfs or Griffins where the only other bus services.

Re: you are right Terry, i had to check back at that one I have no idea why I put Howells, must be an age thing. I for got about the clockwise runs until you said I only ever caught the Jones bus at the bottom of Tillery Street for the Gelli Grug run which would turn at the top of Newhall Street and go back down. It only ran twice a day 12 and 4 I remember it stopping by Howards on the return and I would get off for School. Our secondary school also used the Jones bus service I got on at the bottom of Newhall Street.and it would take the route around Cwmtillery and Alma Street. (NT) -- Carolyn, 00:06:22 07/05/05 Tue
