London Transport 1970-84
London Transport 1970–84
NOTE: This is a paperback reissue of the much-loved London Transport: 1970–84.
London Transport 1970–84 tells the story of the gently declining years of London’s bus operations, wherein the venerable Regent Type and Routemaster vehicles were compelled to give way to ambitious modern bus designs such as Merlins, Swifts and Daimler Mono Standees. These types enjoyed less success, however, and their time in London was short, affording the Routemasters a reprieve that would last for two and a half decades.
The 120 stunning colour images from the camera of noted bus and railway photographer R. C. Riley are accompanied by detailed and informative captions giving the full picture of this time of huge change.
