THE FIRST SCHOOL EVER TO GO TO THE LONDON TRANSPORT MUSEUM LIBRARY BY INES AND CARTER

On Tuesday the 24 May some people from our class went to London Transport Museum Library were the first class ever to go there!  We interviewed  Laurie Akehurst . who is a volunteer at the library. He is very passionate about buses, he showed us his work on the country buses and the green line.
  We asked him some sophisticated questions.

                                                         Why like the RT?

• He answered it was comfortable
• It carried 56 people
• He loved the smell or the new seats

                                                         When was the first female Bus driver?

• The first female bus driver that was in the 1970 was called Jill Viner
• Women was not suppose to do that job but the men went to war so some one had to do it.

                                                 Why did they get rid of the Route Master

•     The newest Route Master in that time was 37 years old, and that is a very old.

                                                       What happened in the 1933

• The London passenger Transport board was formed before that it was all private company. 

It was a pleasure to be talking to him about the London Buses.
