Saved for Posterity - Bus and Coach Preservation

In the sixty years since the birth of the bus and coach preservation movement, the number of vehicles saved for present and future generations to admire has grown from a tiny handful to more than 3,000.
From a small acorn has grown a massive oak, and those pioneers who planted the first seed never dreamed that their hobby would spread not only to every corner of the UK, but overseas too.

From purchasing and restoring a single vehicle in 1956, bus and coach preservation has now expanded to the setting up of transport museums across Britain, where vehicles of varying ages are displayed, to outdoor events where they can be examined, and `running days' that allow the public to experience a ride on them.

The photographs included within these pages show how the hobby has developed and the variety of vehicles that are now preserved, as well as some that were once `saved', but sadly failed to survive the passage of time.

Restoring a Bus

In the late 1980s, when he first took an interest in the buses he was travelling on, Kenny Barclay wouldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams that he would ever own one.
Now he has four. Purchasing a Leyland Leopard from 1980 in May 2007, three more buses of varying shapes and sizes followed over the next two years and he has lovingly restored each of them.

Here, Kenny Barclay gives a fascinating insight into this restoration process. A history of each bus, including technical specifications, is included alongside a selection of images of each vehicle in its heyday. This is followed by a fully illustrated account of each of the restoration projects, as well as photographs of the buses once restored to their former glory.

Packed with fascinating photography, "Restoring a Bus" is perfect both for those looking to enter the preservation scene and those who simply admire vintage vehicles.

Airport Buses

All of Britain's airports are served by buses and coaches in some form or other, whether it be by regular services from nearby towns and cities, those many miles way, or by buses connecting them with the airport's own long-stay or off-site car parks.
Thus a wide variety of vehicle types can be seen, some in the livery of their owners while others are specially branded for their daily duties. In addition, many airports use airside buses to transport passengers from the terminal building to waiting aircraft and as such are not often in the sight of airport visitors.

All these aspects are covered through text and photographs in this book to illustrate how the airport scene has changed over the past sixty years.

This Photo Gallery includes many past and present trolley bus systems from North & South America, Europe, Russia, Asia, and Africa.
