Classic London Buses "Passport to Pimlico" (1949)

In 1949 Ealing Studios produced the classic comedy "Passport to Pimlico". Two elderly STL type buses are identifiable and are seen in these clips. In the first, "leaning back" STL 446 (AYV 604) is seen, and then STL 31 (JJ 4343) features in two different scenes. STL 31 left London Transport stock in October 1948, but STL 446 soldiered on until May 1953, just a year before the final STLs were withdrawn from passenger service in London. the clip closes with the final credits featuring the music of French composer Georges Auric.

The film "Passport to Pimlico" is available to buy on dvd from Optimum, and is one of the very best of the Ealing Comedies. The film stars Stanley Holloway with Margaret Rutherford in a cameo role.
