Description

Scania's first foray into the British double-decker bus market was in 1973, when they partnered with MCW to produce the 'Metropolitan' double-decker. After a brief hiatus, Scania returned to the UK market in 1980, this time offering chassis designs that could be used by major builders. This book celebrates forty years of Scania's double-deckers on Britain's roads, featuring a collection of previously unpublished images. The story of Scania's British double-decker venture is one of innovation and perseverance. From the early 'Metropolitan' model to the more recent designs, each bus played an important role in shaping the UK's public transportation network. With its unique blend of style and functionality, the Scania double-decker has become an iconic symbol of British urban life. This book offers a fascinating look at forty years of Scania's double-deckers, with a wealth of previously unpublished images to illustrate their history.
