British Buses and Trolleybuses 1950s-1970s: The Operators and Their Vehicles

The more than 230 photographs in this album were taken between 1951 and 1978. The majority are in colour and have never before been published. Covering all the major bus and trolleybus operators in the North East, East Yorkshire & Durham, together with a few smaller but well-known companies, most of the pictures show the buses in pre-National Bus Company and Passenger Transport Executive liveries. They also, of course, provide nostalgic views of street scenes, shops and contemporary road vehicles in locations from Gateshead to York and Halifax, and from Newcastle to Sheffield.
