EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the inaugural trip of the GWR Road Motor passenger bus service on 17th August 1903. The image captures a remarkable sight, showcasing the magnificent GWR 22 seater Milnes-Daimler omnibus as it embarks on its journey from Helston Station to The Lizard in Cornwall. The bus stands proudly amidst the picturesque town of Helston, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of Edwardian times. Its sleek design and intricate detailing are truly awe-inspiring, reflecting the innovative engineering prowess of Milnes-Daimler. As we delve into this snapshot from over a century ago, one cannot help but imagine the excitement buzzing among passengers eagerly awaiting their adventure. This new mode of transportation promised convenience and accessibility for all who wished to explore Cornwall's stunning landscapes. The route operated by two buses was undoubtedly a game-changer for locals and tourists alike. It connected Helston Station with The Lizard, opening up opportunities for exploration beyond traditional means such as horse-drawn carriages or walking long distances. In this photograph, frozen in time forever at STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to an era where road motor travel was still in its infancy. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress while reminding us how far we have come since those early days when steam locomotives ruled supreme.
