Next Destination – The Pride of Bucks:
A History of the Amersham Bus Garage by Neil Lamond and John Hutchinson
Most born after 1970 have little conception on how vital public bus services had been. The humble bus became almost as much a part of life as our cars are today; it is probably why these old vehicles bring back so many recollections. This book traces how passenger numbers rose to new heights during the ‘Golden Era’ of operations in the Chiltern Hills, then fell dramatically as the private motor car became the transport of choice. Take a glimpse into the lives of the drivers, conductors and passengers. See how things changed over the years as we step from a black and white world into one of colour. A book full of local stories and charming period photographs that will unlock those forgotten memories.
220 x 165mm. 152 pages with softback spine.
100s of colour and b/w photographs.
