Table of Contents

Over the past few years there has been a dramatic growth in the level of road transport preservation and in the number and variety of vehicles preserved. The number of vehicles which survive - buses, coaches and trolleybuses - is enormous and rarely a day goes by without some new discovery or acquisition. The vehicles which do survive cover the full rage of Britain's road passenger transport industry, from horse-drawn trams from the end of the 19th century through the early petrol-engined buses from the dawn of the internal combustion engine and the trolleybus era, to the rear-engined double-deckers and integrated designs of the modern age. While many of these vehicles are owned by individuals or small groups, increasingly there are a number of museums where vehicles - which can be owned by individuals or by the museum itself - are available for public inspection. Increasingly, also, there is the move towards the use of historic road vehicles in public service on 'heritage' routes, which - as with rallies - ensure that the classic bus designs are visible on the public highway. For the 2003 edition, the book has been completely revised to take account of vehicle acquisitions and moves as well as the appearance of several new sites. As in previous years, the book also includes information on the various heritage bus operations. Along with a detailed listing of all vehicles preserved at the various sites, the book also provides the reader with information on location, opening dates and times, facilities, contact details and much else.
