Bus Histories: LGOC LS class six-wheelers

These histories are not complete. They are being patched together as I gather information from a variety of sources. Particularly helpful have been:
General Buses of the Twenties, George Robbins, Images Publishing
London Bus File 1933-39 (DD), Ken Glazier, Capital Transport
Last Years of the General, Ken Glazier, Capital Transport
Battles of the General, Ken Glazier, Capital Transport
