Even out side of the Greater London area there was a good bus service. Not as frequent but always on time. They also seemed to run when they were needed. They would arrive at the railway station 5 mins. before the train was due and leave 5 mins. after the train had left. Today we have a similar service, only the other way round. Bus drivers would know their regular customers and pick up and drop off between stops if someone had heavy shopping or a push chair.
