BKD 679 = early 1936 Liverpool issue, BXD early 1935 London. |

As it says "School Bus" on the vehicle, should not the classification be changed to Bus-School?? |

Depends whether it's an ordinary bus doing a school run or a special for schools only. Which is a verdict way beyond me, although I'm not aware of English buses being special school builds in the same way as US. |

Looks like a London Transport Leyland Cub class C. /vehicle_27145-Leyland-Cub-KPO3.htm since the registration numbers are only 10 vehicles apart. These little vehicles were used in the country districts to replace a motley collection of small buses owned by various companies taken over by LT or its predecessors in the 20s/30s. They were, in their turn, replaced by the rear engined Cub class CR, Link to "www.londonbusmuseum.com" and the Guy class GS small buses. Link to "www.londonbusmuseum.com" It is not a school bus, just a bus being used on a school journey. -- Last edit: 2016-03-18 10:35:59 |
