Dennis 4-tone / Dodson #D142
11 april 2010 - Wisley Airfield, Cobham Bus Rally. In 1922 the bus operations in London were deregulated, thanks to which over 200 companies were created. Some grew in size quite handsomely, some had only one bus. This four-tonne double decker with a wooden body was built for one of the bigger operators, which then competed with the municipally owned tramways. Due to the crisis of the 1930s, the London Passenger Transport Board was created in 1933 and created some order in the market - sadly they also later caused the demise of the classic tramway in London. This bus never got to see this moment - the last mention of it is from 1932. It was discovered in some garden in 1971 and restored. The museum acquired it in 1984.
