Lots of fond memories from that video including:
My favourite Tyne Tees logo.
My favourite Northern Life intro.
I wonder who made the bomb-threat? The smart money would be on the IRA, but it could have been someone else.
I liked how the Queen checked behind the curtain immediately after unveiling the plaque. It's best to check if it's still there, it is Gateshead after all
3970 maybe
It is not Newcastle?
Wonder what happened after, it looked like it hit the middle doors.

Well it certainly isn't the 'towern' haha
Found this vid while browsing through one of the threads on Skyscraper City.
A fascinating journey back in time. Some of it is very familiar but there have been a lot of changes just within the last 50 years or so. A variety of buses are present in the video including Route-masters and what appear to be Atlanteans.

The Chronicle have some canny photos in tonight, including a decker crashing on Lobley Hill roundabout.

Shot in and around the town, at the Haymarket.
Amazing to see very old stuff, still kicking around so long after de-reg.
Almost forget about the variety too.
The ExpressLink Metrobus on an X1, coming in off the Central Motorway surprised me.
Here is one from a similar period at Gateshead Interchange.
