    Ad banners are so cool on those buses. Inspirational.
  • Lance Bray said:
    I wonder what the Maori greeting" Kia Ora" is doing on the back of a London tram?!
  • Neal Jennings said:
    Lance Bray I was wondering that too! Perhaps an ad for New Zealand tourism?
  • Rob Telford said:
    It's the name of a soft drink that you can still buy today.

Tottenham Court road in London 1927

  • Rob Telford said:
    That's Tottenham Court Road at the junction with Oxford Street. The building on the left was demolished in 1928 to make way for the Dominion Theatre.

    The bus on route 14, XN5034, is a Leyland LB of 'Omega', which they bought secondhand in 1924. It was their only bus and they kept it until replacement by a new bus in 1931. I cannot make out the full registration of the bus in front on route 284 but it is from the 'Overground' fleet and all their XT-registered buses were Dennises. It is going all the way to Hadley Highstone, north of Barnet. The covered top bus going the other way is a 'General' NS-type - the Metropolitan Police had only finally given permission for the operation of the covered top version at the beginning of 1926 following experimental operation the previous year, so this is an early one.

Buses in front of the National Gallery in London 1927

  • Rob Telford said:
    Outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square
  • MAURICE BRUYNDONCKX said:
    Beautifull pictures, thank you very much for sharing those. Maurice Belgium
  • Darkroom Daze said:
    Buses no longer run along here, but have to go round Trafalgar Square on the other three sides. This is pedestrian only.
  • David Flett said:
    Interesting that buses actually stood here when taking their layover. The one in front is an independent operator, or 'Pirate' as the General called them. It is going all the way to Waltham Cross and would be in competition with that 29 for much of the way.

    Love these old pictures
  • Rob Telford said:
    Also Tottenham Court Road at the junction with Oxford Street/New Oxford Street
  • George said:
    Neither of these deckers are Leylands - the one on the left is a Dennis similar to this, and the one on the right, with the General radiator badge, is an AEC NS.
  • Scott said:
    Great old capture !
  • Darkroom Daze said:
    The 14 and 73 bus routes still exist in London, following similar routes to those here.
