Wow I love these old buses. Spent so many hours on the old Bristol busses as a kid. They do have bus rallies once a year around Bristol.
thanks Austin! ... hope all is well mate!
Excellent video really enjoyed this.....keep at it...
Thanks Alan! ... there's another bus vid in progress!
I remember as a small boy going with my dad to deliver steering gears to Bristol Comercial he was the lorry driver for Burman & Sons of Kings Norton Birmingham.
I'll mention this to Pete next time |I talk to him!! :-) Thanks for sharing!!
wittering trucker come and see your blogs thay look good so i subscribed Gary from Crewe
Thanks for the sub... I'll let him know you popped on! :-)
I suppose these days there is soundproofing around engines which was unheard of then. I remember old buses in Chicago and the ones that ran on electric lines above. The new fuel buses were smelly and loud too. That's a lovely vehicle.
Oooh... I remember the “EL” I used it a few times to get around in the city ... it’s a really unique way to travel in Chicago... not many cities have that kind of infrastructure...
@@DubiousEngineering I rode the EL but the buses I was referring too from the sixties, were electric with attachments to wires above the street. They were phased out but they were very neat.
Bet the locals in Stroud loved that Bus, the A46 used to be a race track at the best of times...
Hahah... when you have a piece of history on the road in front of you, it’s nice to admire it... unless you have been behind it for 30 mins!! :-)
Loves this mate brilliant. Lol
Thanks Austin!! - We still need to hang out one day!! :-)
Awesome :-)
... it was indeed a truly epic trip! ...
This is a former Crosville Motor Services Bristol SC4LK with Eastern Coach Works body!
Pete will be excited that someone else knows these busses!! :-)
