Description
Bus Company Service Vehicles by Malcolm Batten explores the lesser-known history of bus companies adapting old buses for various specialist uses. Over the last fifty years, these vehicles have been repurposed as everything from store vans to towing lorries, and even information offices. The practice of converting buses into service vehicles thrived in the past, but has largely disappeared due to changes in regulations and the rise of commercial rescue services. This book delves into a variety of examples from around the country, including those that have been preserved for future generations. With its unique focus on these often-overlooked vehicles, Bus Company Service Vehicles offers a fascinating glimpse into the ingenuity and resourcefulness of bus companies past.
