    Virtually lived in there as a kid - 2p bus ride to get there - big metal basket to put your clothes in - got your hour then called out - walk down to the Chinese chippy near the club- sausage and chips - then bus home! Happy days!!

    Mid 80's when it stopped - remember those big plastic tubes you used to put your money in as well - driver pulled a handle and it disappeared

    Seem to remember that there was a scandal to do with this, where the coins went down the tube and straight into the drivers pocket.

    Once made the mistake on getting the 235 Huddersfield bus. Asked for '2p please' and got kicked off at Scissett. I'd overshot my fare and ended up in West Yorkshire. Didn't have enough change to get back, so had to walk back via High Hoyland.

    As for Royston gym, I know Hammill's often seen there.

    Hecky used to take his kids there for same swimming lessons that my two attended. Still a pretty well used facility all in all.
