Classic Bus | Apr/May 2022 (178)
It was 50 years ago that the last trolleybuses ran in regular service in the United Kingdom. Jim Brown was there. Five years earlier, Barry LeJeune was in Reigate as a bus conductor as part of his management trainee time with London Transport, but he had to mind his head…
We’re on a dead-end route in the Wirral – literally (it went into a cemetery), and in the war-ravaged Netherlands in the late-1940s, looking at some Crossleys that helped rebuild the transport there. The AEC Sabre story continues, and we get a view on engineers’ and general managers’ whims in days gone by.
A fully-fronted late Park Royal bodied AEC Regent V for East Kent? It was considered, as were all sorts of new-fangled machines to issue tickets and speed boarding on one-man buses. Our delve into The Bus Archive reveals they weren’t all a success. We also have more on the position of doors on front-engined double deckers and the use and misuse of chocks (or scotches if you prefer).
