The LONDON TRANSPORT Dennis 4 ton buses

Bus History

These bus histories are far from complete.


Public was absorbed into the LGOC in December 1928, but I do not have details of what then happened to its fleet.
Similarly, I have no details yet of General's rundown of its Dennis open-toppers, except that none were passed on to London Transport.
The few that LT had came direct from Independents.

They contain fragments of information that I have come across in a variety of sources.

Any additional contributions are always welcome!

Particularly useful have been:
London Buses Vol One: The Independent Era, Ken Blacker, Ron Lunn, Reg Westgate, H.J Publications (1977)
Battles of the General, Ken Glazier, Capital Transport (2003)
The Last Years of the General, Ken Glazier, Capital Transport
London Bus Files 1933-39 d/d, Ken Glazier, Capital Transport (2001)
London Transport Service Vehicles, Kim Rennie & Bill Aldridge, Capital Transport (2003)

The histories and photo references are arranged in alphabetical order of registration plates rather than by company or date of registration.

A fleet listing of 4-tonners collected by the LGOC and its subsidiaries (Public and Overground), and by London Transport is provided separately, although their main details are on this page.
