In 1943 it was running Country Area bus services for London Transport based in Guildford, so the Blackpool destination is a little out of place. You can see the London garage plate on the side, although the badge on the side has been added for the film. If the registration is BXD659 it's London Transport's C34, if it's BXD669 it's C44.

See http://www.countrybus.org/C/Cub.html#country for details. (link updated) -- Last edit: 2012-01-30 12:26:42 (Sunbar)
