Book Synopsis Midland Red in Retrospect by : Bernard Warr
Download or read book Midland Red in Retrospect written by Bernard Warr and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Midland Red in Retrospect covers the period during the 1960s when the Midland Red bus company dominated the Midlands, operating the lions share of the bus services and also operated express coach services from the Midlands to London and other locations. Like London Transport, Midland Red had a very distinctive image and had its own fleet of vehicles designed exclusively for its operations. This volume is written by someone who worked for the company during this period and reflects the color and atmosphere of this much loved and well remembered bus operator. Sadly the author passed away in September 2020, before the book was published and this volume of Midland Red bus pictures is a tribute to him.

Book Synopsis London Buses in the 1970s by : Jim Blake
Download or read book London Buses in the 1970s written by Jim Blake and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A compilation of photos taken in the difficult period . . . when LT and London Country were plagued with maintenance problems. A valuable record.” —West Somerset Railway Association Continuing with images from transport photographer Jim Blake’s extensive archives, this book examines the second half of the 1970s, when both London Transport and London Country were still struggling to keep services going. This resulted both from being plagued by a shortage of spare parts for their vehicles and having a number of vehicle types which were unreliable—the MB, SM and DMS classes. In 1975, both operators had to hire buses from other companies, so desperate were they. Many came from the seaside towns of Southend, Bournemouth and Eastbourne. This continued until the spares shortage began to abate later in the decade, particularly with London Country. As the decade progressed, the two fleets began to lose their “ancestral” vehicle types. London Country rapidly became “just another National Bus Company fleet,” buying Leyland Atlanteans and Nationals common to most others throughout the country. Having virtually abandoned the awful MB and SM-types, London Transport had to suffer buying the equally awful DMSs well into 1978, but had already ordered replacements for them by that point—the M class Metrobuses and T class Titans—both of which would finally prove successful. However, plans to convert trunk routes serving Central London to one-person operation were largely abandoned. “A very interesting book. The passenger transport crisis in London in the mid-1970s was a major event.” —Miniaturas JM
Book Synopsis B.E.T Group Bus Fleets by : Jim Blake
Download or read book B.E.T Group Bus Fleets written by Jim Blake and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the wonderful variety of buses and coaches operated by British Electric Traction group fleets in the 1960s, featuring previously unpublished photographs from Jim Blake's extensive archives. Not only did these fleets, which served most of England and Wales, have a splendid variety of British-built buses and coaches with chassis manufactured by the likes of AEC, Crossley, Daimler, Dennis, Guy and Leyland with bodywork by such firms as Park Royal, Weymann, Metro-Cammell, East Lancs, Northern Counties, Roe, Duple, Plaxton, Willowbrook and Leyland again but they also had an array of distinctive liveries. Many dated back to the early part of the century when the operators first started bus operation. The smart maroon and cream of East Kent, the dark green and cream of Maidstone & District or the light green and cream of Southdown, for example, were supplemented by ornate fleet-names, often in gold lettering. These three fleets were just a few of those that served seaside towns, and will remind readers of holidays they spent in the 1950s and '60s. Sadly, the years covered by this book are the final years of the BET group, which was taken over by the nationalised Transport Holding Company in late 1967, as a prelude to the creation of the National Bus Company, under which the distinctive liveries of the BET group fleets, and even some of the operators themselves, would disappear. The 1960s also saw the demise of many traditional types of bus that these fleets operated, owing to the introduction of rear-engined double-deckers, such as the Leyland Atlantean and Daimler Fleetline, as well as the spread of one-man operation. Many of the photographs featured in this book show the older types in their final days pure nostalgia for the transport enthusiast!

Fully illustrated thoughout with hundreds of photographs, the majority in colour, the book includes detailed descriptions of the Bedford petrol and diesel engines and other manufacturers engines used in Bedford bus and coach chassis. Detailed specifications and production histories are given for all the full-size passenger chassis including the WHB/WLB, WTB, OB/OWB, SB, VAS, VAL, VAM, Y-series and the Venturer. Road tests and owners' experiences are covered along with advice on buying and restoring a Bedford bus or coach. This book will be of great interest to all bus enthusiasts and historians and is superbly illustrated with 200 colour and 50 black & white photographs.
