"This is an excellent work which will remind older readers of their youth, and offer younger ones a glimpse into our countries’ past."

Our book today has many hours of research using a current tool such as "Google Street View",which has allowed them to compare how the street scenes selected for inclusion in the work have changed or not in some cases.

A useful reference for the early BR period.

After working through the book from cover to cover, anyone who is interested in British street life during the period in question (not just bus enthusiasts) will get continuing pleasure from ‘dipping in’ at random – this is both an informative, organised work of reference (with an index to places – most British towns appear to be covered) and also a pleasurable ‘coffee table’ book.

This is a highly readable and accessible book which will immerse the reader in scenes of a halcyon yesteryear. As the reader turns the pages, it would be understandable to feel mournful about the loss of manufacturers; coachwork builders, and the industrial scenes enclosed within. However, there is also cause to be thankful for the vision of the photographers to capture the everyday scenes which whilst no longer with us, have been captured and preserved for the benefit of posterity.

Article: ‘Kingsway in days gone by’, words by Jo Barnes

South Wales Argus, 8th February 2021

A book that is not only interesting for train, tram and bus enthusiasts but also in general UK history. It is very interesting to see what it was like the colorful means of transport and the bespoke cities of the last century It also has the addition that the color photographs of that time have something that makes you not tired of seeing them.

Article: Journey through time! Rare colour 1950s photos reveal Britain's bustling streets 70 years ago as new book explores UK's historic buses, trains and taxis as featured by

Daily Mail, 26/1/21

I thoroughly enjoyed the book as each photo gave you a snapshot of time to enjoy some fascinating vehicles, and images of people, fashion, shop fronts, buildings and advertisements. An excellent thumbs up to social history and a look at the particular time in history. Some of the shops now long gone and old advertisements on the side of buses that I hadn’t seen for years, it really did show how much we relied on public transport back then by the amount of people using them in the pictures. Now this isn’t my usual book to read but what thoroughly good book to read, I really enjoyed this and maybe I enjoyed also because my grandad used to be a coach driver too. A highly recommended read for all.
