I just found this picture of St-Quentin railway station (North France) after it was rebuilt following a fire in 1922. Its main interest is, of course, the bus/coach parked on the left. Who will tell more about it (make, model) and say why it went wandering on the Continent?Just before the war, I would think: late '30s. That coach looks like a Leyland Tiger TS8. Typical '30s sweep of coachwork and what looks to me like skylights set into the curve of the roof, a feature which became popular later, in the '50s. It is, of course, possible that it was taken after the war in the late '40s or early '50s when coach travel to the Continent really began to take off. There were plenty of old pre-war black cars on the road both here and in France so the cars wouldn’t look out of place post-war. Just my opinion. Row
“skylights set into the curve of the roof”
Harringtons of Hove coachwork a guess for that era.
