Tons of interesting footage in this , pretty grim though
I guess most of the people in this are now dead which is sobering if you grew up in the 80s and sometimes feel it was only five minutes ago!

The bus looks like it should be condemned, imagine bus drivers having to drive them now? Anyone alive and kicking back then should still remember the blue haze and stench coming out of the back of them specially in depots :)
