May we take this opportunity to thank our customers for their support in 2020 and to wish you all the Compliments of the Season. WHAT’S NEW? As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, there are fewer new books and die-cast models being produced. Several publishers have delayed publication of their proposed titles (especially during the periods that bookshops were unable to open), whilst model suppliers have been hit by delays to their Chinese manufacturing bases. However, it is not all doom and gloom - expected in late November is a new title from Adam Gordon - LONDON TRANSPORT COUNTRY BUSES PART 1: SOUTH whilst around the same time, Silver Link are planning to publish ALEXANDER BUSES & COACHES 1955 -1956.

  • Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties for Those Actively Involved in Or Supporting the Preservation of London Buses, Coaches and Trolleybuses of the Past
    Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties For those actively involved in or supporting the preservation of London buses, coaches and trolleybuses of the past Here is a nice wintry shot of RT 1426, one of the Country area's Cravens-bodied examples, waiting to go to home to Windsor from Uxbridge, long ago, via the picturesque-sounding Iver Heath, George Green, Upton Lea and more mundane Wexham Road, Slough and Eton. I cannot speak for those places at the time the photograph was taken, but in more recent times it has been hard to see anything remotely rural, bucolic or delightful about any of them, and Upton Lea is nothing but a large and uninspiring housing estate on the edge of Slough. Life can be so disappointing at times! Photo by Michael Dryhurst. Newsletter 162 February 2020 Opening Lines First of all, many thanks to all those “Friends” who kindly sent us seasonal greetings at what is nowadays regarded as the “festive” season. These are of course warmly reciprocated. Thanks also to those many individuals who contribute to this monthly mayhem. All contributions are gratefully received and as many as possible are used. It matters not if you send a couple of lines or several pages, it all helps to keep us all in touch. I would also now ask vehicle owners to think about keeping us posted, especially in the case of those buses and coaches which rarely, if ever, appear in public. Many members like to know that these “ghost” buses still exist and are being cared for, or stored, or even under extensive restoration.
