Bridge Street, Luton ? 1972

Now fully pedestrianised it was then still a major thoroughfare in the town centre. The bus in the centre is turning into the former bus station, now St George's Square. It is a former Luton Corporation Albion Lowlander with East Lancs bodywork. Luton Corporation sold its bus undertaking to the local National Bus Company subsidiary, United Counties, in 1970 on the expiry of a local route sharing agreement in the area, thereby introducing a significant number of non-standard vehicles into the UC fleet. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
