Description
Country Buses Volume Two 1950-1959 by Laurie Akehurst
This second volume in Laurie Akehurst's account of London Transport's country buses covers the nineteen fifties, a decade marked by transformation and decline. The fleet underwent significant changes with the introduction of new RTs and the arrival of the RF, GS and RLH types.
The story is well illustrated, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of London's country buses.
