Wow, if you're at all imaginative, this is one heck of a photograph. That contraption, they gave the odd name Charabanc, was what we have long called a bus...but just look at it. Imagine riding in that thing, and it was 1921. I can certainly remember driving on cobbled roads, but doing so in a vehicle with rock hard solid tyres, and with no suspension to speak of, I cannot imagine. Note how the only visible concession to passenger comfort, is a fold-away soft top, and what appear to be rolls of rolled-up side curtains on each door. The good old days..?? I don't think so. Tickets please?
