Bus Road Test (1957)

Aldenham, Hertfordshire.
At London Transport works at Aldenham, buses are subjected to various safety tests before being allowed to streets. Two men are seen lifting sandbags and placing them on seats to simulate the busload of passengers. Bus is then tested for stability. Two rubber buffers are placed at one side of the bus (in case it fails the test and tips over). Then the bus is tilted by a hydraulic ram (great pressure is applied) to check how stable it is. Man operating a rig is foreman Charlie Taylor who's been working on bus maintenance since 1927.
Several shots of the bus being tilted slowly to one side - it looks as if it will turn over. C/U shot of the distance between rubber buffer and bus demonstrates that bus has past stability test.
At Chiswick skid patch, a huge polygon is showered with water (buses are showered too) to get slippery. Buses are then recklessly driven - lots of breaking and skidding - to check a degree of control. Scary watch.

What a bygone era. Interesting how relative time is for everything. He had been doing that for 30 years as at 1957. This comment being written in 2021 would be equivalent to saying he had been doing it since 1991.

    My Dad was a bus driver in the early 1950"s driving for Brighton, Hove and District. In those days you got fined if you ran early or late - heavy traffic was no excuse! In one bad winter he couldn't get up a hill and the bus slid back on the ice and over a main road, no one was hurt but the conductor chickened out and jumped off the Bus! One time he swerved to avoid a car driving on the wrong side of the road and mounted the pavement cracking two paving slabs, he got fined £2 for this and wasn't happy -he told the court judge next time he would let the accident happen rather than try and avoid it! Nevertheless he got a diploma for good driving for 2 years out of the three working for the local Bus company (I still have these along with his drivers badge).. Who remembers pushchairs? (no "Buggies" in those days), when the bus came the Mums would take the kid out, fold the pushchair up and the conductor would take them and store them under the stairs. Plus when you got a bit older, you could swing on the pole ...! Brilliant Buses!

    Bento, there are two films in which double decker buses have been flipped onto their side. One is called 'Intermission' which is an Irish film from 2003. An Irish stunt driver performed that stunt by tilting the bus up a ramp. Another movie is 'Stratton' - there is a scene there in which an English stunt driver flips a bus using explosive pistons coming out of the bottom of the bus - usually these pistons are sections of tree logs or metal cannisters forced downstairs from the bottom of a stunt vehicle. The bus in 'Stratton' landed on the passenger side which is of course safer than the driver's side but I believe the bus in 'Intermission' lands on the driver's side.

    This clip of the bus, RTL286. at Aldenham Overhaul Works shows the vehicle in absolutely beautiful condition. But then you'd know that London Transport set a high standard in those days. The organisation really looked after their buses then, they had their own craftsmen and engineers to maintain the buses to the highest standards. This is a Leyland RT, though a beautiful bus, was not universally popular with the drivers due to heavier steering than an AEC RT bus. Great stuff all the same.
