Picket line outside Middleton Bus Garage

Just come across this whilst rumaging through me mam and dads old photo box. I remember taking this and I do know all the names of the gentlemen in it but thought anyone with Miggy garage connections might like to have a go at identifying. This was taken during a one day stoppage in support of the nurses I believe. As far as I know only one driver crossed the line and he was the one that regularly used to give me a lift home, but not after this. Nobody ever spoke to him again!!

The chap with the open necked shirt, next to the guy in the blue anorak, is Gerry Sawdon who was regular, I think, on Moor Grange when I was on the Headingley half of that rota. I can't recognise any of the others.

You're probably right though.I was thinking of someone else not to be mentioned who crossed line. Must have been 2 of em..
