by Douglas G MacDonald
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The humble omnibus has been seen on the UK's highways and byways for many decades, not least the era before car ownership reached its zenith.
These motorised workhouses clocked up thousands of miles and carried tens of thousands of people, but what happens when an operator decides his vehicles have reached their journey's end for the last time?
This illustrated book affectionately traces the 'afterlife' of vehicles withdrawn by their original owners, examining the myriad purposes second-hand buses serve, from contractor's transport, showmen and fairground vehicles, caravans and living quarters, exhibition units and the like, to finding new owners around the country for further stage carriage and non-PSV sevices, as well as emigrating to serve new lives overseas.
