Description
Open-top Buses by Vernon Smith The open-top bus is a familiar sight in many parts of England, often associated with seaside holidays and summer tourist services. However, these vehicles can also be found operating further inland, serving towns and cities across the country. From purpose-built open-toppers to converted buses, each one has its own unique characteristics. Some have been modified after accidents involving their top decks, while others are part of a fleet of similar vehicles. The duties of an open-top bus can vary greatly, with some operating year-round and others being put aside during the winter months. This book explores the history of open-top buses in England, covering the period from the 1980s to the present day. With a focus on both fleet operators and individual vehicles, Vernon Smith provides a detailed look at these iconic buses, highlighting their varied roles and contributions to British transportation.
