Derby Corporation Omnibus Department : advert in "Spotlight on Derby", official handbook, c1950
From an apparent second edition of the very lavish Official Handbook to the County Borough of Derby comes this advert for the municipal transport department - interestingly titled as "Omnibus" department. Derby had been early proponents for the conversion of tramways to trolleybus operation and the top image shows a turnng circle forming one of the Borough's trolleybus termini. Below a Daimler bus, BCH 132, fleet number 32 a CVD6 of 1949 with a Brush body that would see twenty years service with the Department.
The advert is an interesting use of a single colour tone and so it was fortunate that the livery was indeed green!
