The Routemaster Pocket-Book Edited and compiled by Matthew Jones Nothing encapsulates the essence of London quite like the red double-decker Routemaster bus. Its iconic design, since its 1956 inception, has become as much a symbol of the capital as St Paul's or Tower Bridge. This book is a delightful celebration of the Routemaster, using authentic material covering its exterior and interior design, technical aspects and operation, and illustrated with diagrams and line drawings throughout. There are sections on learning to be a bus driver (circa 1960), behind the scenes in a bus garage and even a user’s guide to the Gibson bus ticket machine for all aspiring 'clippies'. 9781844861521 ∙ Hardback ∙ £7.99
