Hardback pictorial album charting the developments and innovations on London's Buses. This book treats us to views of the famous London buses in chronological order, from the traditional types to the modern battery-electric bus. During the 1970s, the bus scene became increasingly interesting as London Transport struggled with unreliable and unsuitable vehicles. Most of these were far from life-expired, and their premature departure made the sourcing of suitable replacements a matter of urgency. During the 1980s, the London bus scene became one of constant change and was increasingly driven by politics. The increasing variety of vehicle types was accompanied by a proliferation of liveries but, throughout all this change, the Routemaster continued to live on in healthy numbers, and would do so for many more years to come.
