The Post-war STLs

The Provincial Weymann STLs: STL 2682-2701 (Total 20)

These histories are incomplete, and certainly contain some inaccuracies: as do some of the sources. They are being compiled from a variety of sources of information. Particularly helpful have been:

• "The STLs" by Ken Blacker
• "London Transport Buses and Coaches" - various years, by John AS Hambley.
• "London Bus File" - various editions, by Ken Glazier.
