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.

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 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.

[@DubiousEngineering]

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...

[@karen4you]

@@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.

[@timballam3675]

Bet the locals in Stroud loved that Bus, the A46 used to be a race track at the best of times...

[@DubiousEngineering]

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!! :-)

[@ScudoCamper]
