With a wealth of previously unpublished images, Malcolm Batten observes what has changed in the East London bus scene since the turn of the century.
Few things are as synonomous with London as its famous red buses, thousands of which carry millions of passengers a year on hundreds of separate routes. Yet since the withdrawl from service of the much loved Routemaster in the mid-2000s, noe of its replacements has succeeded in generating the same kind of affection among the travelling public. Now, however, the stylish, Thomas Hetherwick-designed New Routemaster looks set to recapture the imagination of Londoners and visitors alike. This book tells the story of the New Routemaster.
Filled with color photos, a look at the variety of London’s buses in recent years. Today's London Buses covers the London bus scene of recent years, including pictures of bus types used in the capital on its major services. This volume looks at various routes across London during this period and the variety of vehicles that have been used in that time frame. Some of the services depicted in this book have already changed, or ceased to operate, during the period covered. The author has set out to illustrate, in broad terms, the color and variety of London bus operation during this time of great change to bus services.
Comprehensively illustrated, this is the first work to cover the entire history of public transport in London, from its beginnings in the early 19th century to the present day. This new edition has been updated to include the numerous changes that have happened since 2000, including the expanded river services, the new London bus, the 2012 Olympics, the building of Crossrail and many other developments. It will be invaluable for anyone interested in the history of London and its transport.
"2014 is Year of the Bus. This book is a comprehensive social history of how the London bus has worked in, and for, the capital for the last century and a half. We discuss the design, development and operation of buses in the city and its surrounding countryside, and consider how the bus has served Londoners from all over the world, and shaped London."--Back cover.
This is a collection of writings on the London bus, edited by Joe Kerr and Travis Elborough. Instantly recognizable, endlessly imitated, beloved by tourists and Londoners alike: London's buses are iconic. Not merely a vital component of the city's infrastructure, they are equally embedded in its culture; written about, sung about, joked about, filmed, painted (and painted on), advertised, and celebrated in myriad ways. And for the many thousands of people who have depended on them for a livelihood--drivers, conductors, cleaners, mechanics, inspectors--they have created their own world, complete with a distinct language, with uniforms, with places, and with men and women of every imaginable culture and ethnicity. This new collection aims to celebrate the unique relationship that Londoners have with their most important mode of transport, telling you all the things you never knew about London's lifeblood and how it's kept the capital moving for more than a century. Tourists take the tube--but real Londoners take the bus.
The red double-decker bus is part of London’s personality, and is famous all round the world as an icon of a great city. Tracing nearly 200 years of history this book places the classic Routemaster in its context.
