London Bus Sculpture Trail IV

Back on the bus trail and this is Busby. Also outside the London Transport Museum. Busby is also known as 'Queen's Conductor', I presume a play on bus conductor and the guardsman's uniform the bus is wearing. This one is by Oliver Dean an illustrator and artist from Essex, he has another bus on the trail. As this bus is wearing a bearskin hat (not real bearskin I hope) it was a bit warmer to sit on on a winters day than the others with metal roofs (or rooves if you're from parts of the country that use that).

I like this bus. It has the chin strap coming down and the markings from the uniform of one the guards regiments uniforms. On the side is the rose shoulder badge and at the front are the garter stars from the collar badge, though I thought they were eye's at first. It's the Coldstream Guards uniform, but it doesn't have the red plume in its bearskin.
