Richard Gregory… This is the original Magic Bus, painted in Pakistan in 1972. Company owner Greg Williams drove it to England, visited Cornwall in July, left from Amsterdam in August, and made it to Kathmandu and back again. The Magic Bus company was founded in 1973.

Mike Gingold… I worked for Magic Bus in the 1980s when Greg Williams was in charge. Buses ran out of King’s Cross goods yard to many destinations daily.

Richard Gregory… Hey Mike, I have access to Greg’s archive and I am attempting to compile a company history – I would very much like to hear from you or anyone else who worked for Magic Bus. magicbus@richardgregory.org.uk

Spiros Vasiliou… My name is Spiros Vasiliou and I am a journalist from Greece. I am doing some research regarding the Magic Bus in Greece in the 1970s and also about a hostel that I assume existed in Athens, the Funny Trumpets. While searching for information on the internet I came across your website. I was wondering if you could help me with my research. s.vasiliou@hotmail.com
