Thank you for posting this. I remember the route very well. Unlike others who have commented, I have so many great memories of the Waterfront (iMax) building. I was amazed with my future wife future ex-wife - by the huge screen showing a 3D film and we both looked forward to returning one day with our yet to be conceived children. iMax had closed by the time our first was born. We had our wedding reception at the Harvester’s Pub upstairs on the terrace. A very large American friend visiting for our wedding stepped into the lift and it sank about 2 feet! We returned many times for our son(s) to play in the soft play area. Many times more for meals or for the kids to enjoy a knickerbocker glory. It was a great vantage point for live shows and fireworks shows as well. I very much think it was a waste of money to buy and tear down only to end up with crazy golf in its place, with crazy gold a few meters away in the gardens anyway. I took my sons’ to the dinosaur exhibit going on at the BIC in this video. They also had movie memorabilia in a different area at the same time that we all enjoyed. Bournemouth, big love from Texas.

This is wonderful - I was born in Bournemouth in 1931 and left in 1967 for Norwich where I have lived ever since! I have taken the yellow bus (electric then) on many occasions. Thank you so much for this "treat" !!

Thx mate. This video reminds my good memories back in 2010...

This showed up randomly in my recommended and wow, what a trip down memory lane. Bizarre to see just how much and how little has changed. And I can’t believe how cheap petrol used to be wtf.

I simply loved this video. Thank you so much for letting me re-live these moments. I lived in Bournemouth for about 2 years while studying at the Bournemouth Uni and I revisited in 2010 as well. I love Bournemouth. This trip is so familiar and my son and I used to be so glad when we got the front seat on the double decker!

I lived in Bournemouth all my life till i moved away the place has changed so much we had great times Bournemouth gardens the ice rink in the 60 s i went back for a holiday and was saddened by the change shops etc i lived in southbourne with my family and my mother had a hairdressing shop in boscombe we loved the place when we were younger the arcade in boscombe saw all the shows loved the drill halls we danced in jiving all night stiff petticoats highheels we were the bees knees in those days happy memories

in early 2009 i took this line every day thanks so much for upload, i'm of these guys who are pleased by simple uploads like this! ;-)

A great video. Every year my wife and I used to drive from East Kilbride, Glasgow to stay at the Chine Hotel, Boscombe for a couple of weeks. What wonderful memories we have of the whole area. The video brings back the excitement of nearing our destination after a nine-hour journey. The pictures have given me much pleasure over the years. Sincere thanks.

Love the tree lined roads you can see the sun shine through them

Thanks for the upload. I grew up there but haven't been back for a while. Glad to hear they got rid of the iMax!

I was living in Boscombe, then close to Charminster and then Town Centre...daaamn i miss Bournemouth a lot!!!!!

That kid was me 4yrs ago lol

I drove this route in the 1990s. Not much has changed between then and now (2023).

I love bournemoth. dorset is the most beautiful place In the uk

At least the imax is gone now

Yeah, was also on that bus route a lot, feel so at home viewing that clip of film, Cheers !

I travelled along here on trolleybuses in the 1950s..

Was last there in 1961 before I moved to Australia. So much street clutter on the streets now- bollards, railings, unnecessary road markings, yellow marker signs, speed cameras etc. Traffic lights in the middle of the roads as well as at the side (why?). Open spaces just disappear.

I love this place

I'm in christchurch and your on the 1b bus

wow i used to take that route to go to work at what was the Westcliff Hall hotel. That was 31 years ago. I have been living in the US now for 25 years. Last visit was 9 yrs ago. Time for another one!

Great video. Should do the same route, now in 2019? Lived there for a few years . Haven't been back since 2001.

What a beautiful place! :D how many ºC were at that time? I guess it was on summer :P

A lot of shops boarded up in Boscombe back 90's this was thriving

What type of bus was this i.e Volvo?

Double Decker still on the yellow bus

Used to go to milkshake bar called the owl cafe in the 70s

It's all got a lot busier now

Wish Canada had these Double Decker busses.

1:03 my old school lol

@ssprinks it's a yellow bus I think, not sure what make they are but here's the website; bybus.co.uk

the iMax was another of the horrors Bournemouth councillors inflicted on us.

Crazy how different it is 🤣
