Nearly 50 years ago, plans were published to scrap many of London’s famous red buses to replace them with something that could have become just as famous – a monorail network.
The scheme was proposed by Brian Waters, and endorsed by Desmond Plummer, leader of the Conservative opposition at the GLC. It would have seen four large loops built above the streets of London carrying the monorail services.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Remember these stickers?
Flogged it to a bloke in work around twenty years back. He's had it ever since and having put about 150k miles on it left it in the company car park some years back.
His daughter asked me today if it would start .

Re: utterly random picture thread.
You know what I meant!!
Now, if you could package up the bike and send it, I'm pretty sure I'll find a way to register it here

Re: utterly random picture thread.
He lives Essex, I'm in Kent and we work in Wapping so no surprise. If it was ridden my a bloke who makes Bilbo Baggins look tall, then that's Rob. If it was ridden by a wind-swept, rugged, impossibly handsome biker with piercing blue eyes and an abundance of sexual allure, that'll be me.Taipan wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 10:33 pmI used to see that bike round lower/upper thame street/tower hill area regularly for many years...gremlin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 7:37 pm Remember these stickers?

This pic was posted on a Facebook group, it's taken in the early 80's at Edmonton Green, heading towards Tottenham. The Ford Escort on the left is my first car, so it's me driving.
