London War Bus For Canada
Lord Ashfield has consented to lend the City of Vancouver the much-prizccl "B” type London bus which reposes in the London Passenger Transport Board’s museum. This pre-war bus is, iwith one other in the keeping of the r Ex-servicemen’s Association, the solo I survivor of that fleet of L.G.O.C. buses I which, commandeored by the Government for service as troop carriers on the outbreak of war, vanished in a night from the London streets, to reappear in Franco and Flanders. The Furness Withy Line have offered free transportation for the bus from London Ito Vancouver and return, and it will figure in the various parades which are to be a feature of the city’s jubilee celebrations this year.
