Description: | In 1961 the route 276 service ran from Streatham Hill in south London to Tottenham in the north. It passed through Parliament Square, where this picture was taken. In the background the Clock Tower and Houses of Parliament are visible.
The bus is one of the new Routemasters. A poster on its side reads 'LONDON TRANSPORT AT LONDON'S SERVICE'. Self promotion was becoming increasingly necessary in the 1960s as private car ownership caused bus passenger numbers to fall dramatically. There are few passengers on the bus. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1961 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
