EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to 1914, showcasing a Commer bus in operation on the Cheltenham District Light Railway. The Commer bus, a motor vehicle manufactured by the Commer Car Company, was a popular choice for public transport providers due to its reliability and ability to carry up to 24 passengers. In this image, we see the bus fully loaded with passengers, all dressed in their finest attire, eagerly anticipating their journey. The Cheltenham District Light Railway, a pioneering transport system in Britain, was known for its innovative use of motor buses to serve the local community. This particular bus, with its distinctive design and bold advertising, would have been a familiar sight on the streets of Cheltenham and its surrounding areas. The Commer bus in the photograph is a testament to the advancements in transportation during the early 20th century. Its open-top design, although providing an exhilarating ride for passengers, would have been less practical in inclement weather. Nevertheless, it was a symbol of progress and convenience, offering a faster and more efficient alternative to horse-drawn transport. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a unique perspective on the history of public transport in Britain. It also serves as a reminder of the evolution of buses from horse-drawn carriages to motorized vehicles, ultimately paving the way for the modern buses we know today.
