The trams were replaced between 1928 & 1930 mainly by trolleybuses, which were themselves replaced by buses in 1967. All the photographs in this wonderful selection are from Eric's own extensive collection. They combine with the highly informative text & captions to provide a valuable record of all the types of buses owned (in their various liveries) & the majority of the hired buses. The photographs have also been chosen to show buses in many town centre locations, the traditional terminals, post-1981 rural routes, suburban & central London. Coaches are shown in locations as far apart as Portsmouth, Burnley & northern France. Also
