Classic Bus Magazine Aug/Sep 2021 (174) Edição anterior

If you like the picture of a preserved Devon General topless Atlantean on the cover of this issue, you’re sure to enjoy our feature on the story of these Sea Dog class convertible open-toppers inside. And we stay in the West Country for a fascinating tale about the results of the censor intercepting some negatives sent in the post during the Second World War.

A letter in the last issue has sparked David Toy into recalling when Reading’s ‘jumbo’ double-deckers hit the streets of the town, and there’s an interesting question mark about how serious or not Ribble was about buying Dennis Lolines.

We go under a rather small aqueduct on a Metroliner to Newcastle, look at neat line-ups in Plymouth and observe trolleybuses in Durban in South Africa. We also visit Scotland, looking at the less common FSF Lodekkas, and hear about Barry LeJeune’s early career with London Transport. Plus there’s our popular, lively and well-illustrated Forum section with topics ranging far and wide, and a look at some new books.
