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. 		This

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>I'm sure that this shot will bring a smile to many viewers' faces although it did the opposite to mine as the negative's condition is execrable. This RM1, SLT 56, displaying route 2 on the indicator blind on show at Horse Guards Parade in July 1956 in conjunction with the LGOC Centenary Exhibition.

Miscellaneous but varied second quality bus pix in colour 		<u>Eastbourne bus</u><br>Eastbourne Corporation owned a small fleet of antiquated open-toppers which were all named, unusually for buses, with the prefix 'The White' and they were all, as with most seaside open top buses, painted in that colour. In this 1950 view we see No. 78, JK 2336 <i>The White Queen</i>, standing outside Eastbourne station. JK 2336 was a 1932 built Leyland TD2 which was converted to an open-topper in the Corporation's workshops in 1949 and she was withdrawn from service in 1954. The gentleman standing on the top deck is my late brother, Geoff, whilst the board affixed to the radiator proclaims that this was a Southern Counties Touring Society (SCTS) jolly.

STL 441 has been around a bit. Entered service in 1934 and converted to diesel in 1939 which made it a 16STL18. Withdrawn in 1953 and moved to a Dutch museum but was repatriated in 1975 where a good home was finally found for it at Cobham.

LT heritage vehicles 		This vehicle originates from Jersey of all places and is on HCVS rally duty passing the Red Deer at Purley Oaks. However, the livery is that of Halifax Joint Omnibus Committee, the link being that HJOC's General Manager at the time was Mr. Geoffrey Hilditch who owned this particular vehicle - a further clue is the Halifax registration mark, MJX 222J, gained at the start of its new life in England.<p>Does anybody know of its current whereabouts?<p>
