EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the GWR Milnes-Daimler Omnibus, a remarkable vehicle that graced the roads of Cornwall in 1904. The scene is set at Mullion, a quaint village nestled between Helston and The Lizard, which holds the distinction of being the starting point for the Great Western Railway's (GWR) very first bus service, launched in 1903. The Milnes-Daimler Omnibus, an Edwardian marvel, was a road motor designed to provide transportation for passengers. Its presence in Mullion marked a significant milestone in the history of public transport in the region. The roads in Cornwall during this era were far from ideal, and the demands of the new bus service led to the temporary closure of this route in 1904 for essential maintenance. A steam roller was brought in to improve the road conditions, ensuring a smoother journey for the passengers and the continued success of the GWR's foray into bus transportation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Milnes-Daimler Omnibus was a novelty on the winding lanes of rural Cornwall. The image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early 1900s, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of transportation history.
