Bus, Tram & Trolleybus Archive
LT search selection Welcome to my PSV arcihve gallery Sales from this site
LT bus types are commonly only 1 or 2 letters which is a problem with the Fotopic site search as 3 letters is the minimum search argument requirement. I've built an internal index which should overcome this problem so click on a type below and see what comes up: Thank you for viewing my gallery of archive images and I hope that you derive as much enjoyment from it as the thousands of viewers thus far.

All images are created from original film material from a steadily growing archive of negatives dating back about 100 years and colour slides from the late 50’s onwards.

At the time of writing this the scanning accent is on trams, trolleybuses and half-cab buses prior to circa 1956 whilst future work will include European & Scandinavian tram systems for the period 1948 – 1957 as well as their railway and metro activities.

If you have a wish list then please feel free to contact me via the options described in the text in the panel to the right of this one.

    Portsmouth bus
    Not the best garage shot in the world but included for its atmosphere. Note the lone trolleybus on the left and the surviving tram tracks just about everywhere on the ground.

    I've been infoimed that this 1950 shot was taken at Paulsgrove Estate. The vehicle, EBK 575 with fleet no. 38 on enthusiasts' duty, is 1949 built Crossley DD42/7T with Crossley body and was withdrawn from service in 1967.

    Portsmouth bus
    A viewer has kindly pointed out that this is the bus compound in Cosham, Portsmouth and that this area has remained pretty much unchanged. In the last few years the shelter has been moved to Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth and is now a retail outlet. The bus is too distant to make out the registration mark.
