Following the 1920s, bus transport experienced several decades of strong growth with an explosion of new operators and bus types. Charabanc trips were popular and many people chose the bus as their way of exploring the country and visiting the seaside. Competition from the railways during the post-war period meant that bus operators often struggled under increased pressures, but the bus remained the favoured mode of transport for many.
Here, Royston Morris shares some of his photographs capturing surviving examples of buses built before 1950.
Royston has been interested in transport since early childhood, when he was always playing with toy cars, lorries and buses. In 1975 he became interested in trains and got his first camera as a birthday present. Since then, he has combined his two main hobbies of transport and photography and has taken over 30,000 transport-related images, featuring cars, trains, commercial vehicles, bicycles, aircraft, hot air balloons and horse-drawn vehicles. He is still taking photographs fifty years on and has a Flickr site which is regularly updated.
