By the time this journal appears the lorribus will be quite familiar to the London public. The few Army vehicles which have already laeeu placed on the streets are merely the forerunners .of a large number, as batches of from 50 to 100 will be placed on the streets from time to time if the scheme proves successful. It is satisfactory to know that these vehicles will be driven by men specially trained by the L.G.O.C., otherwise the prospect of the vehicles being driven by Army drivers, .possibly unfamiliar with London traffic, would be rather terrifying. In addition to training the drivers, the L.G.O.C. will take over the whole scheme of running ; fares will be the same as for the ordinary buses, and the men's wages and hours will, it is believed, be identical with those at present in vogue in the company.
The accompanying illustrations show how the lorries are fitted up for carrying passengers. In the future it is hoped to provide covered accommodation which will certainly be more conducive to comfort in wet weather.
