Classic Bus  |  Aug/Sep 2019 (162)
This year marks 100 years since the formation of Devon General and, in tribute to the company, Paul Jenkins waxes lyrical about the company’s several batches of AEC Regent Vs. Roger Davies has a bit of a soft spot for the 1960s and remembers how things changed drastically in that decade.
We have an Albion on a lonely road in Argyll, a Plaxton Panorama fitted out as Coventry’s football team coach (rather a lot of shiny wood laminate on display!), and bodywork by D J Davies in Newport and Leicester Carriage Builders in Hull.
Alan Cross was intrigued by earlier comments in the magazine about staircases in lowbridge double deckers; he shows us how the pre-war London Transport front-entrance ‘Godstone’ STLs handled the issue. Alan also reports on what happened to London’s C1 Leyland Cub after LT got rid of it. And while we’re talking about an afterlife, John Sinclair recalls how the Lowlander on last issue’s cover ended up in Inverness.
George Rayner tells of his adventures leaving his native Hull and driving buses out of Scunthorpe in 1970, and John Hodge remembers getting out and about in the Peak District with a Derbyshire Wayfarer ticket.
As always, there’s our usual lively and well-illustrated Forum section, with topics ranging far and wide, and an overview of new books of interest.
