- Summary
- BTF synopsis: In July 1956, London’s Bus Week celebrated the centenary of the first appearance on the London streets of the buses of the London General Omnibus Company. A parade in Regent’s Park included some of the old horse-buses and first petrol buses, with members of today’s staff enjoying a day out in the costumes of the period. Examples of London Transport’s present fleet culminated in the Routemaster, London’s bus of the future.
