c1953 – London Transport Q 111 / CLE 134 on route 233. Outside 13 - 27 Station Road, Wood Green.
With West Green (WG) garage plates. This is one of the front entrance model with the front wheels set further back.
A quote from Ian Smith Bus Stop sums up these buses.
"The AEC Q in London.
Q for Queer. The Q Type was an odd type, from the off-centre mid-placed engine that rotated the wrong way, through the lopsided suspension and the single rear tyres to its full-front, lack of front radiator, rounded profiles and extraordinary wheelbase. Some of these do not sound so odd now, but it was start of the nine-thirties."
