Description
The development of London's Night Bus network is a remarkable story of growth and transformation. From a small, infrequent network in the early 1980s, the service expanded significantly in response to changing social needs and technological advancements. By 2021, the network had grown to nearly 800 buses on weekend nights, a far cry from the 60 buses that operated just a few decades earlier. This book tells the story of London's Night Bus network, from its humble beginnings to its current status as an extensive and complex system. With over 35 years of research and experience, Philip Wallis provides a detailed and authoritative account of the network's development. The book is accompanied by themed picture galleries, featuring previously unpublished images that illustrate the routes, operators, and bus types used over the years. A fascinating look at the history of London's Night Bus network, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in transportation, urban history, or the development of London's infrastructure.
