Description: | The D.M.S.1 bus was the first of 2,600 buses to be supplied to London Transport. Built by Daimler, they were the first commercially produced buses that were acquired in such quantities. Before it entered service in 1971, it was displayed at the Commercial Motor Show at Earl's Court.
The bus has a front entrance and central exit which, at the time of its introduction, was a new feature for London double-deckers. Designed for one-man operation, it was fitted with a coin-operated turnstile and ticket machine as well as a periscope to allow the driver to see the passengers on the top deck! | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1970 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | OCManufacturer : Gardner | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
