Description: | When it formed in 1933, the London Passenger Transport Board took over the operation of the Country Area bus services. The uniform previously used by Green Line coaches was adapted for use by the bus crews. This is a Country Area bus driver's uniform. The trousers and long coat are made of dark green worsted wool, have piping in a lighter green, and leather reinforcement.
At first drivers had to pay for their trousers, but this idea was soon abandoned. Advice was given on the care of the uniform, such as rubbing the leather cuffs with an oiled cloth to maintain the suppleness and colour. The uniform did not change until the early 1950s. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1933 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
