A history of Britain's open-top buses.
This illustrated history charts the development of the open-top bus, from the early 1900s when buses were built with no roofs to the bustling sightseeing operations so popular around the world today, recalling many operators along the way who have since been relegated to the annals of history.
Following the trends around the UK, from London and the south coast to the north and Scotland, bus enthusiast and author Philip C. Miles has collated many unusual photographs showing these buses at work. Detailing the bus and the operator concerned in each photograph and including an extensive colour section, this book also considers the role of the open-top bus today.
