    Continuing with photos from an album. In an album of ‘Old Cars Abroad’ I recently acquired, is an out-of-place page of omnibuses, which I opine would bring more pleasure to this forum than to many others!

    I was very pleased to see a picture of Leyland Tiger Cub 6127 PU in later ownership. I remember this bus when it was new and although I knew some of its subsequent history I had never come across a photograph other than my own – which is not surprisingly, in black and white and…

    I have been interested in buses from my childhood. Sri Lanka has had many British buses in the Government owned Sri Lanka Transport Board in the 60s and 70s. However sadly today we have hardly anything left, not even in preservation. Almost all the buses for public use today are Indian Ashok Leylands, Tatas and…

    I have found these old photos which might invoke some memories. David Field06/2016 The first is the Bristol factory in the early 60’s, I think. The second I’m guessing would have been taken in Bistol around the same time. The third has ” Dennis Loline III chassis’s” written on the back, but where and when…

    A further find at Todmorden Market, brown envelope with colour snaps. No further details of owner.I have identified the location as the main road running through Littleborough, Greater Manchester, near to where the newish Police Station is located.Three of the vehicles are in the Trans Pennine Run Rally programme for 1993 so I guess they…

    Here are some views taken at the Tram Sunday event in Fleetwood. It seems to be usual that there are many more cars, charity stalls and miscellaneous sales stands than there are trams and buses. There was an outbreak of common sense a few years ago, but the old ways seem to be slipping in…

    The City of Oxford company originated in 1879 as the City of Oxford and District Tramways Company Limited, which began operating its first horse drawn tramway route on 1 December 1881. By the turn of the twentieth century, tramway systems throughout Britain were being converted to electric operation, but, even so long ago, local environmental…

    Here are the pictures I promised Peter Simpson on the ‘Simpsons EPL 628’ Best Bit. All photos are by Ron Doig and copyright Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust, the scans are all taken from postcard sized reprints made in the early 1980s, it’s likely we’ll do higher res scans when the original 120 prints and or…
