Next time you get on a bus have a look to see if a piece of Swindon’s railway heritage is being celebrated.
Ten new Thamesdown Transport buses, which went in to service in March, have been named after Brunel-era locomotives built at Swindon Railway Works, to mark the 200th anniversary of the engineer’s birth.
Names to look out for include the Great Western, Great Britain, Lord of the Isles and Royal Sovereign. All the new buses carry the Brunel 200 logo - so keep your eyes open and see if you can spot them all! Nameplates can be found above the passenger door and above the cab window.
The new buses were launched at STEAM with the help of children from King William Street School, Mayor Ray Fisher and Brunel himself!
