This painting can be purchased READY TO HANG shipped to the UK only, for shipping outside the UK it is rolled in a tube.
The painting is inspired by the story of the first motorise bus in London, UK, and the transition from horse drawn transportation. By 1908 there were 28 different motor bus types running in London, but the LGOC’s chief engineer Frank Searle was not convinced by any single vehicle. The LGOC was now the biggest bus operator in the world, with the resources to design and build its own vehicles. Searle started work on a new bus of his own design, combining features of earlier designs to suit London’s traffic conditions at the ex-Vanguard overhaul works on Blackhorse Rd, in Walthamstow.  
It immediately proved itself on the streets of London. The ex-Walthamstow works became a factory, and before the end of 1910 there were 120 B types on the road. This was followed by another 895 in 1911 and 1,495 in 1912 - the world’s first reliable, mass-produced bus fleet.
