British Buses - The Golden Years

The golden years of Britain's buses were in the 1950s and 1960s. The service was excellent, and the drivers and conductors had real pride in their work. Buses had style, individuality and, most of all, character, whether they were in the familiar red of London's Buses, or the many and varied colours of fleets around the country.

This DVD celebrates those Golden Years of British Buses, with unique archive film, mostly from the unrivalled library of the British Transport Films collection. This precious archive material presented here has been digitally mastered for the best picture quality.

Now, hold on tight for a ride back in time to the Britain of the 50s and 60s. See buses in action in Cardiff, Ayr, Windsor, Bath and - of course - London. RTs, Routemasters, RFs, Regents and many more are captured in their finest hour.

As a real treat, there's also a never-before-released extended version of  film made in 1957 showing how London's familiar RT bus was overhauled at the purpose-built Aldenham Works.
