Brighton Corporation:-

Not sure those pictures reflect the colours in use during the 1950's. I agree with Gwylan Brighton Corporation red was a different shade to the Brighton & Hove Buses. The bottom picture is definetly a corporation bus but the enthusiasts who have saved it have put on the B & H D logo not the corporation logo.
Here's a pic from the Amberly Museum of a corporation bus. Difficult to tell but the shade of red looks different to me. Even if it is not I'm sure Gwylan's memory is correct.

Just realised it's the same bus. Doh!

just ban all (non local) cars, and put on more park and ride buses - with cheaper fares please!
or, maybe rent out the empty car parks that accompnay the various office blocks along preston road..?
seiously though folks, i dont think the council realise that cars are a fact of life nowadays.. people still need to get around, and buses dont go everywhere that people need them, or at convenient times..
and i dont recall so many queues of traffic BEFORE they starting restricting the flow along London Road etc, by reducing two lanes to one, having massive (under used?) bus lanes, etc.

The car hating in Brighton is a nightmare,especially for those who live elsewhere.
We live near Chichester and my wife is put off visiting the Theatre Royal and other venues in the city because of the aggravation and cost of parking.The last trains from Brighton to Chichester are way too early to use this form of transport if you are going to an evening 'do'.
