Compiled by David Rider from the BBC archives. Interviews with London bus drivers. Side A focuses on horse driven buses, some drivers recounting stories from careers beginning in 1898. Recordings from 1946 - 1970. Side B Musicians concentrates on engine buses and includes interview archive from 1959 to 1970. Stories describe buses used to ferry troops during 1916 in WW1 France, fat ladies becoming stuck and how slippery the wooden roads of Victorian London became in rainy weather.
