Classic Bus  |  Apr/May 2020 (166)
To mark the 50th anniversary since the formation of London Country, Michael Baker gives us a personal look at the rise and fall of Chelsham bus garage. And sticking with London, we take you on a jaunt on FRM1 to some of its old haunts, and look at the day it caught fire...
Previously, we showed some Duple Dreams drawn by Stewart Bratt when he temporarily replaced Eric Ball at Duple. Now Eric has responded to show some of the wonderful designs he produced there. And talking of coaches, we have the story of King Alfred’s, the first of which set out 100 years ago.
Also featured are Bridgemasters that migrated to the north of Scotland, red Merlins in green areas and more coaches and buses on the quayside at Weymouth. And we visit some wonderfully atmospheric scenes in Sheffield, the Derbyshire peaks and in Liverpool’s Edge Lane works.
We solve mysteries, pose questions, puzzle about the nomenclature of Lions and see Wulfrunians towards the end of their working lives. Then, of course, there’s our usual lively and well-illustrated Forum section, with topics ranging far and wide, and an overview of new books of interest.
