The company would like to hear about memories and personal stories of travelling on the buses from the 1920s /1930s onwards.

Do you remember any interesting, funny stories about bus journeys taken in the past? These could be anything from a bus getting stuck in the snow to memories of funny school bus journeys or bus drivers carrying interesting produce?

They would also be interested in hearing any stories about how buses contributed to emigration and the impact that public transport had on the community.

These could be stories passed on by parents, grandparents or other relatives about journeys on the buses and how public transport changed peoples’ lives.

Also if you have any memorabilia, photographs or old Super 8 footage of the old buses the producers would love to hear from you.

If you would like to contribute to the series, which is being produced for TG4 with assistance from Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund, please contact Tara at Waddell Media on 028 90 427 646 or email [email protected]
