The Bristol Lodekka

The Bristol Lodekka was an answer to a problem. It needed top engineering thinking and first class minds to develop this bus. This bus was a major breakthrough in transport. At the end of World War 2 there was a problem outside of London. People had to be transported to work but the London design of buses was poor and unsuitable for the countryside. In this book the author takes us on what is a personal journey for him where he shows how this bus impacted our lives. We see how some clever people have adapted their buses to other uses, like caravans and even a dress shop and we see the bus in the hit 1970's film On the Buses and discuss the social values of the time. This is a wonderful example of how engineering solves problems in daily life and why engineers are often unsung heroes. This book is written for people who are interested in engineering and the wider impact of good design. (R.A.9 -10 +)
