Lubrication In Moderation
Here's one for the Bus experts out there.
Spotted on a pub wall today ( Not in Brum )
I know nothing about it. So what is the make of the bus, what town did it run in, name of the conductress:D etc etc
 
 
 
There are a couple of the B types still around, here is B340 on the road a few years back. Birmingham used a few of them on the Outer circle route when it was first introduced as a circular, while the new fleet was under construction.

Nice one Lloyd. Good to see one in Colour.
The photo I took is in a wonderful little pub called The Peyton Arms in Stoke Lyne Oxfordshire:)
 
Chris, I think you'll find that the conductress's name is Madge. She's just starting her morning shift and the bus has just left the come up City Road and turned right at the Angel into Upper Street on it's way to Islington Green.;)
 
No David Summer Lane she used to drop their Tea Can off at the Cafe to collect on the way back to Perry Barr:)

OK David, what ever:rolleyes:
 
More London B type buses seen in normal service and on War Service. The most famous B type is to be seen in the Imperial War Museum in London. Named "Old Bill" it is a survivor of many that transported troops in France during the First World War and driven by a regiment of volunteer London General drivers. Their service was recognised by the right of a number of London busmen to march past the Cenataph in Whitehall every Rememberance day which they still do.
