Advertising on public transport in the UK has been common practice since the early days of the horse drawn bus. Vehicle sides were a good means of advertisers' products being seen across cities and towns and brought in much needed income to operators. The traditional side and rear ads became more ambitious over the years, not just for commercial products but for bus company route promotions too. In the 1960s the use of all-over adverts became popular. Traditionally these were hand painted with incredible detail and many are now considered to be mini works of art. In more recent years, hand painting has been replaced by vinyls and some campaigns last only a matter of weeks. There have also been experiments with illuminated and digital scrolling messages too. In this photographic journey through a colourful Britain, Richard Walter provides a glimpse of some of the most memorable adverts and dedicated liveries and some of the ones that maybe seemed like a good idea at the time.
