Do you remember the days of the conductor and having your ticket stamped during the journey?
Can you remember the bus companies from the past and the routes you took. Perhaps you can even remember the prices of a single and a return back in the day.
Take a look through this collection which is the latest selection kindly shared with us by Bill Hawkins of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society.
Bill has shared hundreds of images with the Sunderland Echo.
