Classic Bus Magazine

6 issues per year   |  English

From $4.66 per issue
A beautifully designed and intelligent magazine, packed with well-written articles – all superbly illustrated – about different aspects of bus and coach operation, the vehicles we learned to love or hate, interesting companies, people that shaped the industry, plus personal reminiscences and factual stories. Some are shamelessly nostalgic, some controversial, but every piece is written by people who have a lifelong devotion and unquenchable passion for this interest. Many writers are well-known figures in the industry, bringing a fresh perspective that keeps the magazine relevant to today’s readers.

Classic Bus

Jun/Jul 2025 (197) Before National Bus Company subsidiaries' coaches went all-white, down in the South West, NBC operators opted for a common, mainly white scheme, with each operator distinguished by a different broad band of colour around the vehicles. Martin Curtis examines this short-lived phenomenon before all-white consumed them to history. Then we have Mike Fenton’s next look at a classic coachbuilder, this time Wadham. Having focussed on Mann Egerton a couple of issues ago, in this issue we show its products with London Transport. In our regular delve into The Bus Archive, we look at some old adverts that appeared to help sell buses. And more information has come to light about the trio of experimental Derby single deckers covered in a previous Bus Archive feature. We also look at Leyland Titans on the Isle of Man and revisit the vehicle exchange between NBC and the Scottish Bus Group. Our featured bridge in this issue is a railway bridge near Wigan with a 1950s Royal Tiger passing beneath, and Thomas W W Knowles shares a few thoughts about nostalgia. Plus there’s our popular, lively and well-illustrated Forum section with topics ranging far and wide, and a look at some new books.
