1. Very evocative, thank you.

2. I wonder if housing in Edinburgh city centre was affordable back then?

3. Thanks for bringing back some old memories!

4. I miss that Wimpy

5. Just the color tone of that old film: instant nostalgia.

6. A tribute to Edinburgh…

7. The auld bus station

8. That was 20 years before village and town bus’s to ingliston market!

9. So John Menzies where the Rutland is now? Or is it huxters now?

10. Used to go up to the old bus station when you were getting the green “Country Bus” out to East Lothian or Fife or somewhere. Remember they had kind of fabric seats rather than vinyl ones on the Edinburgh buses.

11. Thanks for sharing. It’s a shame the one from inside the top deck showing the Virgin store wasn’t taken when the big John Menzies was still on Princes St, which was always my favourite store. Every trip up town with my folks when I was a kid involved a visit there for me to gaze wistfully at (in chronological order 1970s to late 80s): Action Man, Airfix figures, Airfix models, Subbuteo, home computers, computer magazines, records dept.

12. Ah, the smell of pee and diesel. Happy memories

13. I’m glad you’ve come across them and not on them because it’s important to preserve historical documents
