Description
Leyland Double-Decker Buses is a comprehensive history of the iconic vehicles built by Leyland's Bus and Coach Division. From its early days demonstrating petrol-engined double-deckers at the 1905 Commercial Motor Show, to producing groundbreaking models like the UK's first production rear-engined double decker bus, the Atlantean, Leyland played a significant role in shaping the world of public transportation. The book showcases over 180 photographs, most in color, with informative text that captures the vehicles in their operating heyday. This third installment in a series of books on Leyland's passenger division since 1960 focuses specifically on double-deck buses and coaches, featuring legendary models like the Olympian and Titan. With its wealth of information and visual content, Leyland Double-Decker Buses is an essential resource for anyone interested in transportation history or the evolution of British industry.
