For a few years, London had an experimental fleet of buses that dragged a trailer behind them burning a unique type of gas, made from burning coal.
It was wartime and imported liquid fuel was expected to be in short supply, so London’s buses looked to something the UK wasn’t short of at the time, and that was coal. Specifically, London’s buses were powered by the gas that was produced from burning coal — known as producer gas.

Due to fuel shortages during World War I, car owners, including taxi drivers, used balloons filled with uncompressed coal gas as a substitute.
