Interest in old buses has increased enormously in recent years, so that there are now probably over two thousand of these vehicles restored and preserved for future generations. Some were discovered up to fifty years after their withdrawal from passenger carrying, serving as summer houses, tool sheds or for other purposes. Hundreds of hours of loving care were expended on them so that they can now be seen as they looked in their prime.This book traces the development of the omnbus through the horse-drawn era to that of mechanical propulsion, when, after experiments with steam and electric battery units, the gasoline engine reigned supreme until just before the second world war.

Kaye, David: -

David Kaye has been writing books on buses and trolleybuses since 1960. He is also a regular contributor to Classic Bus Magazine. Since 1988 he has helped to edit the Lincolnshire & East Yorkshire Transport Review. He has made a special study of the 1930s, the period when he spent his early childhood in Southdown territory in Worthing, and remembers the arrival of the 'gearless' buses in 1934. Twenty years later he spent a short time as a conductor in his home town. Since 1973 he has lived in Louth, Lincolnshire, and was mayor of that town in 1998/99.
