Changes

A steam omnibus at Bridgnorth in November 1904. From the Sellick collection, hosted online by the National Railway Museum. [http://www.nrm.org.uk/ourcollection/photo?group=Sellick%20collection&objid=1997-7219_RJS_OWW_27 Original source].<br>Unusually for a steam vehicle, these buses were powered not by coal, but by paraffin, hence the upholstered driver's seat and the absence of a chimney or smokebox. What appears to be a radiator at the front was actually a condenser.<br>The man second from right has been identified as Joseph Gooderidge. Joseph's father, John Gooderidge, was the guard on the first train into Bridgnorth when the line opened in 1862.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/224674190996214/posts/2562161137247496/ Discussion on the Bridgnorth Past Facebook Group]</ref> ==References==<references/>
