Comments and Reviews


Pridesale 22nd Nov 2024		Voted by BUSES readers as the most significant British bus of the past 75 years, the Bristol Lodekka broke new ground when first built in 1949. The design of its low chassis frame allowed, for the first time, a 13ft 6in high double-decker with centre gangways on both decks - a layout until then only possible on buses a foot taller. It set a trend that other manufacturers were keen to follow and paved the way 50 years later for the universal use of low-floor, wheelchair-accessible buses. Britain's Buses Vol.9 takes an in-depth look at the Lodekka, its use in the state-owned bus fleets across England, Wales, and Scotland, and at some of those still around today.
