Knew my memory wasn't playing too many tricks and glad to see some of my memories confirmed.
I have asked about the North Eastern service and (even though I can't remember) they were very untidy inside, with tickets and litter.
Is there anything in your leaflets about Go ahead operating around Whinbury Road etc or is that a false memory?
There were deckers in years gone by though - 50's/60's.
Northern used to operate the 92 prior to deregulation. I had a relative whom I used to visit in hospital (with my parents obviously) and I remember using that service (along with the 639) on the way back home. If I recall, it was usually allocated a double-decker so your recollection is correct.
Previous to the 92, it was the 26 that used to operate via Whinbury Road to the QE. A timetable from 1979 is available on my blog which I stopped updating quite some ago...
