Title: How times have changed! Post by: ronnie21 on Sunday, June 30, 2019, 19:59:38 Just spotted an advert for an auction house. Among the items being auctioned is a poster advertising a Limited Cafeteria Excursion trip to Swansea for town's match there. 21/6d!! £1.7p!! Sadly although it gives the date it does not give the year but after leaving Swindon it was picking up at Wootton Bassett so possibly early 1960s. I used to lvoe those footy specials but was definitely not on that one. :pint:

Back then they were Swansea Town. Swindon station was a mess in the 60's.... the tunnel under the tracks noted for dripping water, forming stalactites.
