| 摘要： | These two volumes - a monument to years of painstaking research by dedicated enthusiasts - detail the lives of the 1,453 prewar six-wheel London buses (all but 226 of them double-deck) that inspired Transport for London's choice of type code for today's New Routemasters. Nearly all these LTs (new 1929-32) were AEC Renowns, but four used London General's own CC chassis designed and built at Chiswick Works, an apparently inferior product that led to the early closure of the works' chassis development department. The last LTs ran in February 1953. The LTC coaches followed in 1937, bookending a story that began with the six-wheel LS class in 1927/28. Peter Osborn's introduction in the first volume paints the bigger picture, while Alan Bond provides the history of each vehicle (delivery, garage allocations, date of departure and final fate) extracted from official record cards and double-checked by Les Stitson. |
