My Dad was a bus driver in the early 1950"s driving for Brighton, Hove and District. In those days you got fined if you ran early or late - heavy traffic was no excuse! In one bad winter he couldn't get up a hill and the bus slid back on the ice and over a main road, no one was hurt but the conductor chickened out and jumped off the Bus! One time he swerved to avoid a car driving on the wrong side of the road and mounted the pavement cracking two paving slabs, he got fined £2 for this and wasn't happy -he told the court judge next time he would let the accident happen rather than try and avoid it! Nevertheless he got a diploma for good driving for 2 years out of the three working for the local Bus company (I still have these along with his drivers badge).. Who remembers pushchairs? (no "Buggies" in those days), when the bus came the Mums would take the kid out, fold the pushchair up and the conductor would take them and store them under the stairs. Plus when you got a bit older, you could swing on the pole ...! Brilliant Buses!

Unbelievable video quality for 1957. Is it recreated or restored? It must have been shot on film and the film retained the color till now? Easily beats many HD videos of today.
Indeed, they were shot in high-definition colour film which has stood the test of time.Worth looking at the 1960s series ' Look At Life ' ( also on TH-cam which was the same quality ).
I really like old reporting style There is always a distinctive way these reporters sound and talk from which you can tell that it's an older piece of recording. And quite frankly I find it really entertaining. Modern reporting often bothers me, not particulary content wise, but in the way they present it. Can't exactly pin down why. I guess it's just a preference. :3
As a result of being hit by a Fire truck , a Routemaster bus turned on its side in W. LONDON . Luckily nobody was injured , our buses had just been fitted with radios and l had to send a " Code Red " to L.T. Contol .
Here's one from 1957 (poor quality images tho'). A friend of mine was going to school on the bus! www.ourwarwickshire.org.uk/content/article/nuneaton-bus-overturns
The average speed of a London bus isn't overly fast.. If they drove at faster speeds and swerved quickly the momentum of weight transfer could have flipped one.. Same as a lorry etc..

Over 50 years ago in the UK. A charity allowed people to drive a Routemaster on a private airfield perimeter road if a donation was made to the charity. I got there just as they were packing up and as (can’t remember which charity but thought it important at the time) so said I would give them £5-00p if they let me drive it. (Skilled week’s wages at that time were about £20-00p!) They were very happy and as I knew how it all worked said ok. I had arrived by BMW motorbike so got into the cab with a helmet on! The bus was about half full of elderly people and all sorts of stalls and stuff belonging to the charity. I hurdled along the airfield perimeter road after going through the gears at about 30-40mph (nothing compared to a BMW bike before speed cameras!) There was a sort of “S” bend at the end of the road to continue around the perimeter. No one had told me you do not change from 3rd to 2nd gear to slow down going into the bend as on a bike but use the brakes! The bus rocked about 45 degrees from side to side as I drifted around the bend and levelled it up. Sounded like world war three was going on behind me, I had seen tests done with Routemaster like one in a film clip where the whole top of the bus had a bag of cement on each seat and empty below. The bus design has such a low centre of gravity that it is impossible for it to fall over so I was not at all worried, but it seems the passengers did not know this….. It was explained to me when we got back to the starting point. Wearing the crash helmet which I had forgotten about did also not inspire confidence in the passengers either. But everybody was happy as it as they say was all for charity. I even learned new describing words which never heard before as an innocent lad in his 20s from a few ex-military types.

It was explained to me when we got back to the starting point. Wearing the crash helmet which I had forgotten about did also not inspire confidence in the passengers either. But everybody was happy as it as they say was all for charity. I even learned new describing words which never heard before as an innocent lad in his 20s from a few ex-military types.
I was thinking about this video today and it showed up in my recommended 😳
this video has a better quality than a lot of videos recorded nowadays
The skid test was just an excuse to muck around whilst doing work
Would suit me 😁.
Daniel Playfair Is that even true?
TH-cam knows that there are many videos like this should be get famous..... 😂😂Cause before 10 years we had best memories.
The coming of Jesus Christ is close my brothers and sisters!! Please repent of your sins and ask God for salvation for the time is short 💕😞 we are not perfect which is why we need to seek the lord more than ever!❤️❤️🙏🏼..... God spoke to me through dreams and is waiting that you may come to him!..

I remember seeing something similar at the Coventry Transport Museum like a decade ago. Jeez I haven't been in a long time.
Minding my own business:
TH-cam: Would you like to see a 1957 bus safety video?
Me: 😲

Fascinating :)
Yoru comment is so old
@@T1Dotty Duh... so why reply to it?
Im an ex bus driver.
One time it was snowin and most other drivers called in "sick"
I on the other hand had no issue comin in.
I had a volvo vanHool double decker, and all day i was slow drifting around roundabouts- because it was slow and very well controlled passengers loved it and thought i was some sort of genius 😅
Good times. This in the early 2000s, bath depo to Chippenham known as the x32 and 231 back then.
Can we just agree that this camera looks amazing for 1957?
video film is good quality just most of film is scratched from back then but this one isn’t so that’s why it looks good
I want to see a remake of Speed with one of these.
Wow cool recommendation
:D
Time changing, and this old bus test so cool
