Description: | The bus in this picture is on its way to Loughton. The picture was taken as it passed though Buckhurst Hill, southwest of Epping Forest.
The bus is an N.S.-type, a type first built in 1923. At the time an application was made to make the buses closed-top, but the licence was refused by the police. After a trial period in 1925, permission was eventually granted.
This picture was taken in 1926, so this would have been one of the first buses with a closed top, though the driver's cab is still open. It still has solid tyres, but pneumatic ones were introduced not long after. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 16 Jun 1926 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
