Historical background of the vehicle

The LGOC B-TYPE was a pioneering double-decker bus designed by the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC) and produced in the UK between 1910 and 1919. Prior to World War I, it was London’s main means of public transportation. With the outbreak of war, hundreds of these vehicles were adapted for transporting soldiers and supplies at the Western Front, mainly in France and Belgium. The LGOC B-TYPE participated in both logistics and evacuation operations during World War I, making it an icon of both urban life and wartime history.
