British Buses 1967

"This book looks at the important turning point in the history of the bus industry in Britain, the year, 1967. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs, mostly black and white, but with a nice color section, and is divided into three distinct sections. Part one provides an overview in which the author sets the scene as he remembers it. Part two,which makes up the greater part of the book, is a pictorial overview of the operators and vehicles that he saw in 1967, and part three takes a look at the preservation movement as it was at the time. The narrative is a very personal view of the bus scene in 1967, the captions are extensive and informative and the pictures are well composed and sharp. The author acknowledges the NTA website which he used to verify details of the various trolley buses that appear in the book. All in all this is a well-produced volume that covers a period that many of us view with a great deal of nostalgia. The trolley bus coverage is sufficient to interest the student of UK trolley bus operations and the more general UK scene covered in this book is a bonus that should encourage many enthusiasts to add it to their collection." ~Trolleybus Magazine
