Glory Days: Devon General order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 46.00 each
Hardback
Author: Colin Morris
Published by: Ian Allan Ltd
The author narrates the history of this important regional operator from its origins through to the point where the imposition of the NBC's corporate image in the mid-1970s finally removed the identity of the old company from the roads of the southwest. The book recalls the many varied buses and coaches operated by Devon General during its long history. These include the distinctive Leyland single-deckers of the 1930s that were nicknamed 'camels' as a result of a hump, for luggage, located halfway along their roofs, and reflecting the company's operations within a popular holiday area. 96 mostly colour pages.

Author: A.E. Jones
Published by: Ian Allan Ltd
The latest addition to our successful "Glory Days" series covers the history of North Western, for which, more than three decades after it disappeared as a major operator, there is still considerable nostalgia amongst both enthusiasts and those who used its services. Many remember the familiar sight of red and cream, North Western buses on both the urban routes in the Greater Manchester area as well as its more rural services in the Peak District and elsewhere.

Initially, part owned by both BET and the Tilling Group, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BET during World War 2 when the jointly owned bus assets of Tilling and BET were divided between the two companies.With the formation of the National Bus Company in 1969, unlike other NBC subsidiaries, North ... more

Paperback
Author: John McCrystal
Published by: Grantham House
They have served us faithfully for the better part of a century - the men and women behind the passenger transport industry and the big machines they have put at our disposal, for hire or reward. Through words and pictures, On the Buses tells the whole story - from the rise of the mass motor transport and the days of 'pirate' buses and cut-throat competition that ensued, the privations of Depression and war into the golden years of the 1950s, through the hard times of the later 20th century to the first glimmers of the new era, where the day of the private car is all but done. Climb aboard and read about the history of the bus and coach industries in New Zealand, from the early days of rickety charabancs and seat-of-the-pants car service operations, to the sleek buses prowling the streets and the slick, comfortable coaches cruising the highways of present-day Godzone.
