Seen here heading down Lea Road in Luton circa 1968 before the Park Viaduct inner ring road was built over this site in the early 1970's is Dennis Loline / Neepsend FXD 186C of Luton Corporation. These were the last double deckers purchased by the undertaking, passing to United Counties in 1970 but not seeing many years use with UCOC before sale.

There's sometimes a bit of a discussion about this well known photo that was taken as a publicity shot to illustrate the loan of 'provincial' vehicles to London Transport during shortages of buses during the Second World War. Several operators answered the 'call to arms' including as you can see here Manchester Corporation Transport and so bus 227, VR 5470, is seen apparently having its Manchester destination blinds 'removed' and LT ones fitted by a chap looking none too happy ona ladder and LT bus crew looking on. The 'posed' nature is such that Manchester buses didn't have intermediate screen ont he rear of the bus and the Manchester blind seen here is an intermediate!
London wasn't the only place to 'borrow' buses, usually released from 'operators who had spare vehicles or capacity' or those who had vehicles in store following the 1939 instruction to operators not to scrap redundant buses. Needless to say those 'available' were often not the best as who would wish to part with their best in the circumstances! Other operators who recieved 'buses sometimes did quite well such as Huddersfield's loan of Bournemouth Corporation trolleybuses in their bright yellow livery; at least Manchester's buses were red like London's!
Seen here at Luton Corporation's Kingsway depot circa 1968 is Albion Lowlander / East Lancs 168 EMJ which had been new to the undertaking in June 1963. This example survived into United Counties ownership but was withdrawn in October 1972 as part of a cull of these non-standard vehicles.

Note, JDH 433 was delivered as number 236 and entered service on 11th February 1946. It was renumbered 332 in 1950 and was withdrawn from service on 31st December 1965
Several municipal as well as private operators issued booklets advertising trips and walks that their bus and tram services opened up and in the days when car ownership was low, leisure time scarce for many yet 'rambling' was a popular pursuit these booklets were a source of gaining trade particularly in off-peak times. Sheffield's guides ran to many ediitons, somewhat unusual for such a seemingly industrial and municipal operation - this being the third edition.
However Sheffield was unusual in city operators in that its bus services, from early developments in the 1930s, spread out over a wide area well beyond the city boundaries and immediate environs to encompass some lengthy routes out to the east and particularly west into the famous Derbyshire Peak District. This was useful, if demanding, rural territory and the guide is, as expected, full of details of places to go and visit and walks to be made from the Corporation's bus routes. As part of the major changes in c1929/30 - when the four major railway companies were allowed to invest in bus operations and the new Road Traffic Act came into force - the Department formed part of the Sheffield Joint Omnibus Committee. The SJOC had effectively three bus fleets - A fleet for city operation and owned wholly by SCT, B fleet for routes adjacent to the boundary that was joint owned and C fleet for 'long distance' routes whose vehicles were wholly owned by the railways and, after 1948, British Railways.
The cover has a truly 'city' scene with one of the tramcars and below, an open top double deck bus amidst blue skies and open countryside. The badge or 'logo' is noted inside the booklet as being the "sign of good service". Like many 'official guides' it is published by Burrow of Cheltenham.

Seen at Beamish Museum during their recent vintage bus running day is this pair of former Sunderland Corporation buses. They may look fairly modern but they are each over fifty years old!
On the left is No.48, a 1964 Atkinson Alpha with a Gardner 6HLW engine and Marshall B45D body. The bus is registered WBR 248.
On the right is No.53, a 1966 Leyland Panther with a Strachan B47D body, registered FBR 53D.
Both buses are now owned by the North East Bus Preservation Trust.

LAK303G was a Leyland Titan PD3A/12 / Alexander H41/29F new as Bradford Corporation number 303 in April 1969. It became West Yorkshire PTE number 2303 in April 1974.
The original monochrome image (courtesy Graham Newell) is lettered for Southwark Corporation but I have no idea of the colour scheme - let me know if you can help - so I’ve finished this first version in the well-known colours of Lincoln Corporation. The double cab would look more at home on a refuse truck but would suit other council functions that have a requirement to transport small teams and their tools and materials to and from work sites. I’ve lettered this for the Cleansing Department but the Parks & Gardens or Highways Department might have been more appropriate. Strangely, the rear of the cab only appears to be accessible from the nearside. Also of note is what appears to be a Hiab crane between the cab and rear body (08-Nov-25).
