Classic Bus | Dec 21/Jan 22 (176)
London lost its last lowbridge double-deckers 50 years ago. Graeme Coles recalls their final fling. Also in London, we’re on the 93 road on a London Bus Museum-organised running day, and see RFs hit 70. How about a ride on Manchester’s 56 route? Michael Eyre gives the definitive story of this unusual great British bus route. We also look at some Teesside Titans being taken away for scrap.
Fred Heaton was in charge of the Tilling Group for many years and responsible for its diversity of interests, not just bus; Nigel Furness gives us a brief low-down on the man and the company. Remember the stylish Bedford JJL? Peter Murnaghan does and reports on its short-lived sojourn with Maidstone Borough Council.
We also feature David Leeder with some Delaine delights, Geof Dickson with more mudguards, and some decidedly odd articulated buses discovered in The Bus Archive. Buses shouldn’t hit bridges, unless to make that very point; we have a report on a Bristol VR that was requisitioned to do just that.
There’s a new book on the famous Brown Bombers of South Wales, the rear of a trolleybus in Derby, with Lorenza the clippie trying to get back on board, and Michael Dryhurst recalling a London bus rally.
Plus there’s our popular, lively and well-illustrated Forum section with topics ranging far and wide, and a look at some new books.
