AEC 'B' type, formerly operated by the LGOC (London General Omnibus Company). About 900 were commandeered by the army during WW1 for troop transport across France. A few made it back to London and were overhauled for further service! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGOC_B-type |

An LT film I'll post shortly claims 1300 buses and 10000 "busmen" were involved to support action at Ypres and the Somme. |

Take a look at this: - Link to "content.tfl.gov.uk" It seems to confirm, more or less, the figures dsl quotes from the film. -- Last edit: 2022-11-01 19:56:23 |
