Perth's Buses in the 1970s & 80s.

This short video is in response to TH-camr "@watransprobservations" who requested to see some buses I interacted in in my earlier days. Most of the footage dates from the late 1960s to 1970s, about 10 or so years before I actually joined the MTT/Transperth. There is one clip from 2007 of the exit from the Roe St Bus Lane where buses did U turns across the Railway Tracks. Most of the film has trains as the primary focus, with buses "photobombing" the shoot, for which I am now quite grateful. Once again, my thanks to www.purple-planet.com for their music which they kindly license for use if accompanied by recognition here in the video's description.

Any else agree that the old entertainment centre was way nicer to look at than the blue lego we have across the road now?

Interesting to watch as someone born 3-4 decades after most of the footage was shot

Did my apprenticeship at Kensington Street Workshop 1975 - 1978.

747 at Gosnells Depot in the 80's had the exterior painted to show the internal frames and underskin body components, when it was new it looked awesome driving about with that on it. They used to refer to it as "Boeing" given the number.

Yes I remember the Wellington Bus station doing a 906 to and from Fremantle train replacement great memories. Also fantastic spot for Bus spotting and watch buses going about their business

The 760/766 bus NEVER went through the old Wellington Street bus station. They travelled directly along Wellington Street

Nice one! I remember the old Welly St Bus Station when I first moved over here in 95 and the Ent Cent. Perth has changes so much since then.

Great memories Terry thanks for sharing. Also I'm sorry being one of the teenagers in the 80's flicking the stop button repeatedly :) I remember having "Jimmy" the bus driver at times too.
