Your ancestors rode on Omnibus’s just like this, but what was it like?
This is a massive antique on wheels and dates to around 1890 - a time before the health and safety regulations we know today!
It seats 18 people inside and 20 on top - I’ll show you around the Omnibus, including where the driver sat. You’ll see that you’d need to be pretty fit to jump on and off one of these things, especially as it was moving!
I’m filming at the Museum of Transport in Manchester for BBC Antiques Roadtrip - here’s the link to the museum…it’s well worth a visit [ Ссылка ]
