Reseña del editor

Over the past few years there has been a dramatic growth in the level of road transport preservation and in the number and variety of vehicles preserved. The number of vehicles that survive - buses, coaches, trams and trolleybuses - is enormous and rarely a day goes past without some new discovery or acquisition. The vehicles which do survive cover the full range of Britain's road passenger transport industry, from horse-drawn trams from the end of the 19th century through the early petrol-engined buses of the dawn of the internal combustion engine and the trolleybus era, to the rear-engined double-deckers and integrated designs of the modern age. Whilst many of these vehicles are owned by individuals or small groups, increasingly there are a number of museums where vehicles - which can be owned by individuals or by the museum itself - are available for public inspection. Increasingly, also, there is the move towards the use of historic road vehicles in public service on 'heritage' routes, which - as with rallies - ensure that the classic bus designs are visible on the public highway. For the 2001 edition, the book has been completely revised to take account of vehicle acquisitions and moves and, for the first time, also includes information about the various heritage bus services that are operated, services which allow the enthusiast (and general public) the opportunity of riding historic vehicles on the public highway. Compiled in conjunction with the National Association of Road Transport Museums, Buses Restored 2002 like its companion volume on railways, provides the enthusiast with a detailed handbook to the museums throughout the British isles - what there is to see, when they are open, what facilities they offer and much else. Just as Railways Restored has become the Bible of the railway preservation movement, so Buses Restored will be keenly sought by all.
