Classic Bus Magazine Feb/Mar 2020 (165) Edizione posteriore

In this issue, we have the story behind a special golden key to a Manchester bus depot door that turned up in an auction recently. And only a bit further to the west, Mike Morgan goes all soft on Lancashire United’s Guy Arabs.

Our delve into the Bus Archive looks at the attempted mass sale of not-wanted-here London Merlins, with Martin Dean giving his take on the episode. And talking about London, Basil Hancock looks under the skin of the RT to point out why the Saunders body was different.

We also have more on Red House Motors – this time its unusal Park Royal Royalist bodied Albions and beautiful Burlingham Seagull bodied Daimler Freelines – more on Midland Red’s home-made policies, and a glimpse of coaches to London in Aylesbury’s Kingsbury Square.

There’s a mystery to be solved in Margate, a look at Scottish AEC Monocoaches and David Pike is off wandering with a Wanderbus ticket in the 1970s – all over the place, he went!

As always, of course, there’s also our usual lively and well-illustrated Forum section, with topics ranging far and wide, and an overview of new books of interest to consider.
