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.

    London Transport double-decker bus
    I was thrilled to come across this negative of the unique STL2477, ELP 154, even though the location isn't yet known to me. STL2477 was known as either the Meccano Set or the Sainsbury and spent its short working life with this one-off body based at ON (Alperton) garage. It's depicted here on one of it's regular turns, the 79A to Northolt Airport.

    London Transport double-decker bus
    A familiar sight on route 24 to Pimlico when this shot was taken in 1953 was the SRT class. Here we see SRT89, FXT 51, which was built in 1949 using the chassis from STL2603 allied to an RT9 body but there was only a year or so left on the chassis's calendar as she scoots down Whitehall.
