Classic Bus Magazine Dec 20/Jan 21 (170) Edición anterior

How about a history of a bus station? The first part of Tony Walshaw’s story of Redcar’s once fine building is in this issue, and we have Eric Wain’s third visit to the Potteries in the 1950s, this time centred on Newcastle. We’re back in Liverpool again with a few more observations about its post-war fleet of double deckers.

We’re also off to the Rock of Gibraltar to see some unusual second-hand buses and visiting outposts of Ribble country to hear about one reader’s preference for Bristols over Leylands.

We made a silly slip-up about the engine position in the Seddon Pennine 7 last time. So, you correct us and give us the lowdown on their good and bad points in service. John Seale sings the praises of draughtsmen and their skills, and our delve into The Bus Archive looks at a dream for an electric future that began just after the last one ended.

We take a lunch break in Stamford and coffee in the Chiltern Hills; also see a Reliance bus cross over the Grand Western Canal and Midland Red’s own-built buses in town and country settings.

Finally, of course, there’s our regular lively and well-illustrated Forum section with topics ranging far and wide, and an overview of new books of interest.
