The perfect fusion of bus spotting and film trivia.....
Buses on Screen - Welcome
Buses on Screen celebrates buses as they've been
depicted on screen over the years, on film, on TV, in screen
advertising, even in music videos. This is the perfect
meeting of a great form of public transport and one of the
great mediums of mass communication!
If you've sung along with Cliff Richard in 'Summer Holiday', or you've thrilled to Sandra Bullock's driving in 'Speed', if you've ever wondered what happened to that bus on the side of the mountain in 'The Italian Job', or been amazed by Harry Potter's triple decker bus, well......that's just the start. (We didn't mention 'On The Buses', did we?)
What's listed? TV, films, music videos, TV and cinema advertisements, even old cinema newsreels. There's also a new entries page. We don't normally record everyday news items, unless it's of special interest. Ready to read on?

3 February 2009 update: Due to other commitments I had to take several months away from the Buses on Screen website.
This catch-up update not only revises the look of the site, it adds a mass of new information covering all categories albeit heavily UK-biased,
and including nearly 500 new screen captures. Thank you to everyone who's contributed, especially Rob Sissons, Daniel Dey and stronghold, but
particularly Bob Wingrove, who has found all sorts of fascinating material.
What's new, then? We've got Routemasters and RTs galore, including Weymann prototype RML3, a Canadian RM, another in 1946 Germany; ST922; a Stratford Blue Thornycroft; BMMO SON; a Bedford VAL in 1960s Coronation Street; a unique 1933 Yellow Coach rear engined 'decker; various East Kent AEC Regents, ex Ribble Leyland Lion; Aldershot and District AEC Reliances; Gilfords, Bristol JO5G, even a Guy Wulfrunian - just! TV shows include Magnum, Most Haunted, Follyfoot, Budgie, Bones, Minder, Touch of Frost, Life on Mars (USA). Movies include Spy Hard, Small Faces, This Sporting Life, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Wild Child,

This website aims to chronicle all those buses and more; it's the ultimate fusion of bus enthusiasm and film and TV trivia.
Buses on Screen started out as an offshoot of The Bus Station - now it's a website in its own right.
Have you seen a bus on screen? Have you provided a bus for filming? You can help this project grow -
this is the place to submit your sightings, no matter how obscure, how half-forgotten.
If you can't remember all the details, don't worry about it - someone else will!
