Description

Demonstration, Trial and Experimental Buses by Malcolm Batten explores the lesser-known history of buses and coaches. This book delves into the world of demonstration vehicles, showcasing how they were used to test new designs before being sold or modified in workshops. These vehicles played a crucial role in the development of public transportation, with companies using them to compare different models and decide on standardised designs for mass production. The book examines a range of demonstration buses, including those that were bought experimentally or rebuilt extensively during their service life. By examining these vehicles in use, on display, and after being sold off, this book provides a unique insight into the history of bus design and development.
