Classic Bus Magazine Feb/Mar 2022 (177) Zurück Ausgabe

Mick Webber went rummaging at the back of several London Transport garages and found a lot of interest there. We continued rummaging in The Bus Archive and found some more Duple flights of fancy. And talking of flights, Martin Curtis recalls the transport that used to provide connections for the Scilly Isles helicopter link.

John Sinclair shows us that Western SMT’s Lodekkas definitely weren’t boring. Phil Howard shows us a bit of Gracie Fields’ home town, Rochdale, a century after its fine town hall opened. And staying in the north, we look at Warrington when it was Crosville, but with North Western buses (if you see what we mean), and Rod Bramley remembers some great trolleybus tours before those magnificent beasts all disappeared.

We also have more on the Bedford JJL, more about buses catching fire, and more about what happened to those 100 Atlanteans Midland Red ordered.

Plus there’s our popular, lively and well-illustrated Forum section with topics ranging far and wide, and a look at some new books.
