Continuing the theme of the main nostalgia page, here are two more pictures of early motor buses in operation in the Wycombe area, together with some of the advertisements which the proprietors placed in the Bucks Free Press to keep their customers informed.

TOP: Here we see the aftermath of some sort of event which took place on Wooburn Green, with attendees being transported to their homes in number of horse-drawn wagons led by a motor bus (inset). The event and date it took place are unknown, suggestions are welcomed deweymiked@aol.com.

SECOND ROW, LEFT: This is a posed view of a very early Milnes Daimler single-decker enclosed motor bus near Beaconsfield on the road to Slough, March 1904, with the driver, one man sitting next to him, another standing beside the front of the vehicle, and a ‘gentleman’ boarding at the rear. This is probably a promotional picture for the Great Western Railway road transport from Slough to Beaconsfield.

SECOND ROW, RIGHT: An advert in the Bucks Free Press on July 18, 1913, announcing a change to the route through High Wycombe for the Loudwater to West Wycombe motor bus service of the Livery & Posting Company.

LEFT: This advert in the Bucks Free Press on May 11, 1917, was for the timetable and fares of the Livery & Posting Company motor bus route between Loudwater and West Wycombe.

RIGHT: This advert was the schedule of outings to Ascot Races by the Livery & Posting Company, June 1913, and announcing a new bus service on Sundays.
