A London book that doesn't revere the Routemaster

摘要

The story of London Country Bus Services has been told before, but Peter Aves deserves much credit for looking at it afresh in this account, setting it against what was happening across England and Wales at the same time, rather than placing it in a London bubble. As someone who loved exploring its routes from his early teenage years, he clearly regrets that so many of them have disappeared, but he offers an intelligent analysis of why they were doomed to die.
