Bøger i Britain's Buses serien

Bradford trolleybuses were first introduced in 1911 and last used in 1972. With over 180 images, this book, the first of two volumes on Bradford trolleybuses, showcases the trolleybuses at work on different routes around the city, returning them to their heyday of 1961.

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.

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.

After every rise, there comes a fall, and for Bradford's trolleybuses this started soon after their Jubilee in 1961. With over 190 images, this book follows the story from their heyday to their ultimate end in 1972. Despite their ultimate decline, the Bradford trolleybuses were special, and this book, the second of two volumes, shows why this was.
