When Malcolm started to work at Hammersmith he travelled on the Aldershot & District coach, picking it up at The Jolly Farmer at Bagshot at 07:09 am then alighting at Latymer Court. He would have to walk about 1¼ miles from home but then only a short walk at Hammersmith. Coming home he would be able to catch a bus home from The Jolly Farmer if the coach was not too late.

Once Malcolm started living in digs, he would cycle up to London on a Sunday evening then home again on Friday evening. He had a racing bike and was quite able to cover the 35 miles that each journey required. From his digs in Barnes he would either walk to work, use his bike or occasionally use the route 9 bus.

Within six months he gave up his digs and returned to using public transport from home as he was now required to travel to various locations. He often did the journey to London by bike as it saved him 7/6 per day and only took him about 10-20 minutes longer than the coach. In winter he would be clad in many layers of clothing and once, evem started his journey with a mug of tea, leaving the empty mug in a hedge near Windlesham and collecting it on the way home.

Cycling was not without it's hazards and he was knocked off on three separate occasions, all without injury. The route went past Heathrow airport where the wind always seemed to be directly into his face regardless of which direction he was going. There was a cycle track along the Great West Road but Malcolm found it safer to remain on the road where car drivers were more likely to take notice of him. Besides that, cars tended to be parked on the cycle track.

One of the locations that Malcolm visited was near Hemel Hempstead and for this he would use the 702 Greenline coach from Sunningdale then change at Victoria for the 718. He also used the 702 coach to come home after evening class in London then be collected by a parent.

Working in Department 18 required much more diverse travelling, much of which was closer to home. Reading was the destination to which he either cycled or took the bus. The bus journey either walking to Camberley or catching the local bus. Then he took the Thames Valley route 3 from Park Street to Reading. In February 1963 there was a tremendous snowfall and the local bus did not arrive. Malcolm walked to Camberley where a Thames Valley bus had made it, albeit very late. At College Town in Sandhurst, right outside the shop where his girlfriend worked, the bus was hit by a skidding Austin A35 but was able to continue. On another occasion but at the same location, Malcolm was cycling to work and was overtaking the bus as it pulled away from a stop. Halfway past the chain came off his bicycle and the bus driver was holding back and wondered why the bicycle did not continue past him whilst Malcolm tried to find a way out of the situation.

He next worked in the Harmondswater area of Bracknell, to which he usually cycled. He walked the journey one morning in an attempt to train for a sponsored team walk from London to Brighton on behalf of the company, and arrived at work three hours late. The team for the walk never materialised. Occasionally he would travel by bus, using what was available from The Jolly Farmer stop to Bagshot then the route 75, but there was another walk at the far end.

When working on site at Dedworth Manor in Windsor, his journey involved a series of bus connections which took upwards of 2 hours, whereas the direct journey by car took ½ hour. Luckily the site agent passed close to where Malcolm lived in his company For one of these journeys Malcolm was overtaking a car past Ascot racecourse when the windscreen shattered and his vision was completely obscured. He managed to continue by using peripheral vision through the side windows and complete the maneouvre then had to pull up swiftly afterwards. Malcolm also used this car to go between Windsor to Isleworth for the monthly valuation. Coming back to Windsor on one of these trips, a golf ball driven from an adjacent course struck the top of the partially open driver's window. A fraction higher and the ball would have come into the car at about the point of Malcolm's temple. Laterly, Malcolm took a lift with the site engineer who had rented a house close to where Malcolm lived.

When Malcolm bought his cottage in Dorset, he purchased a van to run to and fro and carry building materials. The van was far from roadworthy but he took it to London each day when working in Chiswick. The staff there were not happy at having it visible in the car park.

Having been transferred to Southampton, the first job to which he was assigned was for Plessey in Broadstone and he initially travelled to and from Verwood by bus. That could be tricky as the bus only ran once each day. However, Malcolm soon started to use his van for the journey.
