1947 Sheffield bus is named after female conductor from photo

A restored 1947 bus has been named in honour of a female conductor who once worked on Sheffield’s fleet.

The South Yorkshire Transport Museum in Rotherham has completed seven years of work on the single-decker vehicle and put it on display.

The bus is called Betty in memory of Betty Foster, a “clippie” who appeared in a photograph taking a tea break on board in the 1960s.

The late Mrs Foster’s daughter, Julie Askew, said she was “delighted” by the tribute.
