British standards in those day were quite high, also the kitemark on products. I have noticed things made in china using uk brands like washing machines using 1/3rd of thickness cable, so they get quite warm when heating water and motor running.

Today, in a world bent on sustainability, I see this video and see a bus built to last, built to be repaired, re-powered, rebuilt, and capable of being so for generations. There we were, in 1957, achieving something. Where are we today? We throw away everything, repair nothing, and any piece of equipment like this that gets bought for the job ends up over budget, can't do it as effectively, and is totally unsustainable in the long term. So much for progress!

As a recently retired Marine Engineer, this was an absolute delight to watch and I enjoyed every minute of it. But, it is a difficult watch when you consider the skills, capabilities and confidence we have lost in our once great organisations and institutions. Having said that, a lot of the activity shown in the video, was even in the the 1950s totally uneconomic. They were rightly proud of their organisation, methods and measurable efficiency and doing what they did - but they were in the process burning cash unnecessarily and it was unsustainable. I regularly repair my cars, motorcycles, domestic appliances but my labour is free if I was paying someone to do it- it would be ruinous. London Transport probably thought the labour was free in those days.😉

It would be good to study which aspects of that era should have been retained and which aspects should have been modernised. Modern computer systems and production technology could have vastly improved efficiency without taking away the core skills, work ethics and sense of purpose people seemed to have back then.

@@windbag45 Yes profit. That's what companies use to pay employees a wage and benifits for their production working on busses. When goverments give people a wage or benifit the money is first stolen from people through taxation. How would you like to have money stolen from you to run a bus service but you never use a bus?
