Description

Hi, This is for Rog (buffalo), he asked for a shot of the old bus behind Lara's Land Rover.. Well, this is it but sorry, only got a clear shot from the other side.. It was it seems, on loan from the London Bus Museum at Brooklands, and was one of theirs.. Noting the drip tray, I imagine its a runner still.. It could hold 54 passengers, entered service in 1923 and left in 1933.. It had its body replaced 9 times during that period! They ran them hard back then.. I have other even older buses running at Shuttleworth if you'd like to see them, and yes, they do have a whiskey brand on the side lol Rob

THANKS Rob! 1923 - 1933 is only 10 years! IF you have more interesting old buses, please DO post! This was a pleasure to see! Keep up the good work! :-)

Photo quality is excellent! My rating - a 6+ !

Regretably, my bus riding experience includes rides with criminal drivers one of who I had to overpower and one of whom I just (in January) attended the inauguration of a state governor to counter act decades after his act. Cable cars, hoo-rah!!
