* Leonard Woolf bus in Brighton *

The Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain is delighted to announce that Leonard Woolf will receive the honour of having a bus named after him in Brighton.

Inspired by a chance encounter with the Virginia Woolf bus by Stephen Barkway, as reported in the January 2023 issue of the Virginia Woolf Bulletin, the campaign for a bus named after Leonard Woolf was led by the VWSGB's Marielle O'Neill, who is undertaking a PhD on Leonard and Virginia Woolf's political activism. Marielle acknowledges the backing of the VWSGB, especially Claire Nicholson (Chair), and Suren Paul (Chair of the Leonard Woolf Society). Thanks also to Maria Caulfield MP, Cllr Paul Mellor and the Board of Deputies of British Jews for their valuable support. The Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain would like to thank Brighton & Hove Bus Company for honouring Leonard Woolf.

Marielle O'Neill said: 'It's wonderful to see Leonard Woolf's great contribution to politics and publishing recognised. Given Leonard Woolf's activism in the local community and public-spirited nature it is particularly fitting that this tribute will benefit ordinary people in the Brighton area.'

The bus to be named for Leonard Woolf is one of the brand new accessible Coaster buses, with two wheelchair bays, dementia-friendly flooring and seating, audio and visual next-stop announcements, and onboard loop system.

The bus will be named in the next four to eight weeks and details will be added to the Brighton bus website. The vehicle number will be 717.

The Leonard Woolf bus will join existing buses named after Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell (see the Brighton & Hove buses website at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://history.buses.co.uk/history/fleethist/472vw.htm__;!!KGKeukY!y3uGuq7AetUXR08W6rDBE76V5gnsM-YNNgf3HYNxZmXGjwVztZXna_jbd2x-tMDEu6t2w7L6jMtG-_HrCs1TVdFBstQaTItu$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://history.buses.co.uk/history/fleethist/472vw.htm__;!!KGKeukY!y3uGuq7AetUXR08W6rDBE76V5gnsM-YNNgf3HYNxZmXGjwVztZXna_jbd2x-tMDEu6t2w7L6jMtG-_HrCs1TVdFBstQaTItu$ > and https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://history.buses.co.uk/history/fleethist/671vb.htm__;!!KGKeukY!y3uGuq7AetUXR08W6rDBE76V5gnsM-YNNgf3HYNxZmXGjwVztZXna_jbd2x-tMDEu6t2w7L6jMtG-_HrCs1TVdFBsugJCq0R$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://history.buses.co.uk/history/fleethist/671vb.htm__;!!KGKeukY!y3uGuq7AetUXR08W6rDBE76V5gnsM-YNNgf3HYNxZmXGjwVztZXna_jbd2x-tMDEu6t2w7L6jMtG-_HrCs1TVdFBsugJCq0R$ >).
