A pictorial history of buses and coaches of the period, drawn from a British transport photographer’s vast collection.   British Buses and Coaches in the 1960s is an overview of the bus and coach scene during a decade of great social and economic change in Britain’s history. This volume looks at the interesting and varied number of bus and coach operators that still existed, before and just after the formation of the National Bus Company in 1968.   With around 300 photos, Jim Blake has compiled an informative volume of material from his extensive collection of negatives taken during that period, which give a flavor of how things were at that time of great transformation.
