Transport for Edinburgh - Lothian Buses & Trams

Lothian Buses are one of only a handful of UK bus operators which are still controlled by the Local Authority and are the principal provider of bus services in the historic city of Edinburgh and several of the immediate surrounding towns. Having reverted to the more traditional madder and white livery in 2010 this modern bus fleet presents a fine sight to the visitor and enthusiast alike. In this A4 size book, consisting of 112 pages with over 280 colour photographs, Mike Rhodes looks at the present day bus fleet through a series of photographs which depict all of the routes operated by each of the three garages. Extensive captions accompany each picture and many include additional information about the districts and buildings portrayed. The book also includes a brief history of the growth of local transport in Edinburgh, starting with the Edinburgh Street Tramway Co. in 1871, through to the present day. The book concludes with chapters which illustrate the Night Services, Bus Tours and the Tramway
