BPSWA publication archive

The Rattler

Our flagship newsletter records the people, buses, restorations and public-transport history that make up BPSWA's story.

The archive

More than four decades of BPSWA history

The Rattler is distributed to current members electronically and in booklet form if preferred. Editions more than two years old are made available publicly as the archive is progressively prepared.

The original site indexes issues from January 1980, issue 90, through to issue 486 and beyond. The edition covers below are from the Society's existing archive.

PDF downloads to be connected

The original archive has 379 unique issue covers and downloadable PDFs. The covers and publication index were captured for this rebuild, but the PDF files themselves were not included in the source export. This page will become a fully downloadable archive once BPSWA re-hosts or supplies the approved public PDFs.
