Description

Bristol Re Buses and Coaches By Robert Appleton This book explores the Bristol RE, a significant development in British bus design. In 1961, the maximum length of single-deckers was increased to 36 feet, prompting Bristol Commercial Vehicles and Eastern Coach Works to create their first rear-engined single-decker. The RELL and RELH versions were built and tested in service from 1962, with production starting in 1963. The book focuses on the Bristol RE's use in England and North Wales between 1970 and 1994, featuring a range of operators including Tilling Group companies, National Bus Company subsidiaries, municipal operators, and independents. The author also includes photos of preserved Bristol REs from more recent years. With its detailed history and photographs, this book provides a unique insight into the Bristol RE's role in British bus design.
