The lives of these people and how they came to be on the bus are shown in flashback, and it is only at the end of the film that it's revealed which of them has died. London General STL24 (JJ4332) is the bus star of the film, although we never actually see its registration plate. Much of the action takes place on the lower deck. Colin Read notes the scenes look authentic, but could be studio mock-up. Certainly the views through the windows are back-projection, but the footage looks genuine, unlike the scenes shot in Hitchcock's Sabotage from three years later. " Actually two of the people were killed as the newspaper headlines read, and indeed the end revealed which ones. Spoiler - click here to see it The cheated husband and the blackmailer, Blake.
