Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. London Transport's Country Buses provided services in the outer London area and part of the Home Counties extending to an approximate 25 mile radius from central London. Upon its formation in 1933 the London Passenger Transport Board faced the task of acquiring many independent operators in…the Country area, restructuring the route network and dealing with the great variety of vehicle types. In the following years London Transport designed a range of new buses for these services and built a number of well-equipped garages. The Second World War saw a vast expansion of services with many new routes serving the needs of war workers. After the war a start was made in replacing the war weary fleet, and a number of new routes in rural areas were established. This first volume of the book tells the story from the origins of the Country area in the early 1920s until the end of 1949. London Transport's Country Buses provided services in the outer London area and part of the Home Counties extending to an approximate 25 mile radius from central London. This book tells the story of Country Buses from the origins of the Country area in the early 1920s until the end of 1949.

Hardback. Condición: Fine. At last: a book dedicated to the true silent heroes of British history ? not kings, not generals, but the country bus. The rolling village noticeboard. The mobile rumour exchange. The courageous box on wheels that looked at a muddy lane in 1937 and thought, Yes. I will attempt that. Country Buses ? Vol…ume One: 1933?1949 (2012) by Laurie Akehurst , published by Capital Transport (ISBN 9781854143556 ), is pure transport nostalgia with proper scholarly backbone. It?s for anyone who sees an old bus photo and immediately starts asking the important questions: What route was it on? Who operated it? What colour was the fleet livery? And how on earth did it get up that hill with six passengers and a crate of chickens? This volume covers the period when rural Britain ran on timetables, persistence, and the faint hope that the bus would actually come. It?s the era of pre-war practicality, wartime austerity, post-war rebuilding ? and through it all, buses just kept turning up, doing the rounds, and quietly stitching communities together one stop at a time. While history thundered overhead, the country bus continued its modest mission: delivering people to markets, stations, work, school, and the occasional life-changing dance in the next village. Akehurst doesn?t treat these vehicles as mere machines. They?re characters. Each operator and route tells a story about local geography, economics, and the odd British obsession with forming committees to decide whether a bus should turn left or right at the pub. You?ll get the operators, the networks, the changes, the liveries, the types ? the whole ecosystem of rural transport before ?mobility solutions? became a phrase and before everyone was expected to own a car and a sense of direction. And yes, there?s delicious irony here: the country bus ? often teased, overlooked, taken for granted ? now receives the sort of loving documentation usually reserved for warships and steam locomotives. Which is only fair. Steam engines got romance; country buses got service . They didn?t want glory. They wanted a decent road surface and maybe a new set of tyres. This is a 2012 book looking back at 1933?1949 , which means you get modern production quality and research, but all the charm of the period: those boxy silhouettes, the typography, the photographs that make you want to put on a coat and queue politely for a ticket. It?s a book that makes ?interwar rural bus operations? sound like a thrilling niche ? because it is. Condition: Fine , meaning it?s crisp, clean, and ready to be admired like a freshly polished destination blind. This is the sort of copy that looks almost suspiciously well-behaved for a subject built on muddy lanes and hard work. Ideal for collectors, transport historians, model makers, bus spotters, and anyone who believes Britain makes more sense when viewed through the prism of routes, depots, and timetable compromises. Perfect for: local history lovers, public transport obsessives, nostalgists with a soft spot for rural life, and anyone who has ever felt a small surge of joy at the phrase ?Request Stop.? Sold proudly by Crappy Old Books ? because some people collect rare first editions, and some people collect the beautifully specific joy of country buses , 1933?1949.

Hardback. Condición: As New. Some London histories are all crowns and cathedrals. This one is about the far more important institution: getting out of London without losing your dignity , ideally on a coach that smells faintly of seats, raincoats, and optimism. London Green-Line Transport (2005) by Laurie Akehurst , published by… Capital Transport (ISBN 9781854142900 ), is a love letter to the legendary Green Line network ? that elegant green-threaded web of routes that carried Londoners out into the suburbs and beyond, long before ?commuter belt? became a lifestyle category and long before your phone could announce delays with a cheery little ping. Green Line is the sweet spot between ?city bus? and ?grand adventure.? It?s the service that says: yes, you can leave the capital; yes, there will be stops; and yes, you can do it while remaining seated and mildly superior. These were the routes for shoppers, day-trippers, workers, airport-bound travellers, and anyone who knew that the real secret to surviving London was a good escape plan and a timetable. Akehurst is exactly the sort of guide you want for this: meticulous, enthusiastic, and deeply familiar with the way transport history is actually social history in disguise. He doesn?t just show you vehicles; he shows you the system ? how it developed, how it was run, how it changed, what routes mattered, what liveries and branding meant, and how the network reflected the growth and shifting shape of Greater London itself. You?ll find the sort of details that make transport fans go quiet with happiness: route numbers, destinations, operational changes, and the subtle drama of reorganisations that probably caused fierce debates in depots and mild confusion at stops. And the irony is wonderful: Green Line was built to be functional ? practical services for ordinary journeys ? and yet it has become the stuff of nostalgia, documented with the reverence usually reserved for ocean liners. Which is fair. There is something inherently romantic about a coach route with a clear purpose and a dependable timetable. It?s like the city briefly agrees to behave. As a Capital Transport title, it?s also beautifully done: proper research, strong imagery, and the sort of presentation that makes you want to start planning imaginary trips to places like Windsor, St Albans, or anywhere that sounds like it has a decent pub and fewer sirens. Condition: As New , meaning this copy is crisp, clean, and suspiciously pristine for a book about public transport. It?s basically in ?fresh from the depot? condition ? ideal for collectors, reference shelves, or anyone who wants their nostalgia served without fingerprints. Perfect for: London transport obsessives, suburban historians, coach lovers, route-map romantics, and anyone who?s ever felt a small thrill at the words ?Limited Stop.? Sold by Crappy Old Books ? because sometimes the most satisfying London story is the one where you manage to leave it, smoothly, on time, and in style.
