World War 1 "Battle Buses" go on display in Covent Garden
- 6 years ago
The last four surviving B-type “Battle Buses” pulled into Covent Garden Piazza in central London on Saturday where the public had the chance to see the vehicles, some of which were used to transport troops to the Western Front.
More than 2,500 of these buses were built between 1910 and 1914.
1,000 were used for war service.
The London Transport Museum said this was “a rare chance to see the last four surviving B-type buses - the world’s first reliable, mass-produced motor bus - on display together for the final time."
