Paperback / softback

Description

In 1970, around 3,000 RTs were still in service in the UK's capital.

However, by 1984, transport in London was changing beyond recognition and would continue to do so as a result of tendering and devolution.

London Transport 1970-84 covers the gently declining years of London's bus operations, during which the venerable RT and Routemaster types were compelled to give way to ambitious modern buses like the Merlins, Swifts and DMSs.

These enjoyed less success, however, and their time in London was short, affording the Routemasters a reprieve that would last for two and a half further decades.

In this book, 120 stunning color images from the camera of noted bus and railway photographer R.

C. Riley are accompanied by detailed and informative captions, giving the full picture of this time of huge change. AUTHOR: Matthew Wharmby is an author, photographer and editor who specialises in London bus history. 120 illustrations
