1949 The Ever Changing Face of Bristol's Centre
Bristol Bus Company offices in Colston Avenue on the Tramway Centre. With its famous Tramway clock where many Bristol courting couples would meet.
"A Bristol coach company introduced the world's first express coach service, linking Bristol with London. Travel back in time to the days of Greyhound and Morning Star"
The Greyhound coach that zoomed passengers from Bristol to London in a mere eight hours in 1925, was the first to make the through run since coaches were pulled by horses. Greyhound was one of a number of coach companies competing aggressively for the growing market for long distance travel, and it scored a major coup with its fast London run.
Just £1 return for the longest through route ever attempted to a timetable.
