In just under 25 years, single-deck buses in the UK have undergone a transformation. Every single-decker in normal service in the UK today is a low-floor bus offering easy access to everyone. This book traces the story of the UK's low-floor single-deckers, from the first tentative steps to the widespread adoption of this layout.

Using a wide range of adverts, this book shows how the market was dominated by a group of builders that understood the importance of keeping their names in front of customers. With over 180 period adverts spanning 25 years, this stunning volume tracks the advertising history of Britain's biggest bus and coach brands in their efforts to win sales.

In just under 25 years, double-deck buses in the UK have undergone a transformation. Every double-decker in service today is a low-floor bus offering easy access to everyone. It covers all the operators that run them. The story is told for the first time, on a model-by-model basis, with many images, which show the buses throughout the UK.

This illustrated history of UK motor buses concentrates on different double-deck and single-deck types. In each case models that successfully broke new ground are identified, and the types that followed them are looked at.

An all-colour illustrated book that tells the story of the buses that served Britain between 1950 and 1986.
