Historical Description of the LGOC Type B Bus

The original LGOC Type B Bus was designed and manufactured by the London General Omnibus Company in London from 1910 onward. It was widely used in the British capital as a means of public transport, able to carry up to 34 passengers. The outbreak of World War I brought entirely new challenges to these vehicles – more than 900 units were requisitioned by the British Army and repainted olive green. LGOC Type B buses served in transporting soldiers, supplies, and the wounded to the Western Front from as early as 1914. They played their part especially during key battles such as the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Ypres.
