Book Description

Since it was first published in 1995, Classic Bus Yearbook has firmly established itself as one of the most popular of road transport titles. Featuring a lively mix of articles and photo-features portraying the passenger transport scene in the period up to the mid-1970s, the book is an entertaining exercise in nostalgia for all those who remember the era of the half-cab bus. The new ninth edition includes: - Robert Jowitt's portrait of buses in South Wales - A selection of Geoff Rixon's classic colour photographs of London buses in the 1960s - An examination of the weird and wonderful names selected by bus manufacturers for their models - certain to be a source of considerable debate and controversy among enthusiasts. Alongside the main feature articles many of the most popular features from the linked bi-monthly magazine - Checkpoint, Classic Wonderbus and Roger and Out - will also feature. Illustrated throughout with a fascinating selection of historic colour and mono Illustrations, Classic Bus Yearbook 9 is an excellent source of nostalgia for days long gone by when half cabs were King, and the private car largely inconspicuous.
