These Denning's were a great piece of gear to travel in, I think they really were the bench mark in comfort and power until the later big Domino Hedges coaches turned up.

It isn't just me: it is all the other posters to these thematic threads, and the 9999 viewers (most of whom will be repeats as the thread evolves).

Old bus (Quincy, Illinois, USA), but not 1915 as claimed. I am going for 1940s Chev. What do others nominate?

First two buses are on skid row, the white one with the yellow and green stripe may possibly be an ex Garfield bus lines. Both look like bedford running gear.

Don't know much about this one other than I've been driving past it for years.

It's actually a 1946 GMC the lendlease vehicles had cut away front mudguards

I've been at a paddlesteamer event, and have had no time to prepare my usual photo per day. Here is a flickr link, showing an old Sydney bus, with a comment adding a 'now' view to match 'then'.
