<p>In the 1950's my family had a caravan in Maldon, Essex and we would travel by bus. Cannot remember the number but it was an Eastern National bus from Wood Green to Brentwood (probably the one mentioned that went to Southend). At Brentwood we changed to another Eastern National that took us to Chelmsford and then a local bus to Maldon. How my Mum managed with two children, sometimes my Nan, suitcases and even the cat carried in my sisters arms I will never know. But happy memories that…</p>

<p>Not Southend. That would have been City Bus from Wood Green (later Eastern National). Local Clacton holiday service was GreyGreen, I think. Or was it Orange Luxury maybe?</p>

<p>Remember 715 (originating from Guildford) running through Holloway, Finsbury Park, Wood Green etc. on its way to Hertford. The 251 was an Eastern Counties green-liveried bus route from Wood Green (Lordship Lane garage) to Southend via. Romford.</p>

<p>I did things like that, Andrew. It's only now I realise how worried my mum must have been when I disappeared. On the other hand, life was much safer on the street in those days. Wouldn't do it now.</p>
