When Stroud's buses were green (and even red)
 |
Welcome...
At StroudValleys.co.uk we aim to recreate something especially of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s - when Stroud's buses were green. But that doesn't rule out shades of other periods...
Why Stroud? Find out here
THIS SITE features a history of Stroud's buses from 1900 to (almost) the present day.
Through the eye of the lens at previous Stroud Running Days, we look at the vehicles once used in Stroud, especially but not exclusively Bristol/ECWs and including the Country Dual Purpose.
We
consider some of the memorabilia
used over the years to promote Stroud's buses.And there's also a small section on current bus operations in the town - by Cotswold Green and Stagecoach.
Stroud? Where's that?
