Buses Built Before 1950

Following the 1920s, bus transport experienced several decades of strong growth with an explosion of new operators and bus types. Charabanc trips were popular and many people chose the bus as their way of exploring the country and visiting the seaside. Competition from the railways during the post-war period meant that bus operators often struggled under increased pressures, but the bus remained the favoured mode of transport for many.Here, Royston Morris shares some of his photographs capturing surviving examples of buses built before 1950.
