In 1970, around 3,000 RTs were still in service in the UK's
capital. However, by 1984, transport in London was changing beyond
recognition and would continue to do so as a result of tendering
and devolution. London Transport 1970-84 covers the gently
declining years of London's bus operations, during which the
venerable RT and Routemaster types were compelled to give way to
ambitious modern buses like the Merlins, Swifts and DMSs. These
enjoyed less success, however, and their time in London was short,
affording the Routemasters a reprieve that would last for two and a
half further decades. In this book, 120 stunning color images from
the camera of noted bus and railway photographer R. C. Riley are
accompanied by detailed and informative captions, giving the full
picture of this time of huge change. AUTHOR: Matthew Wharmby is an
author, photographer and editor who specialises in London bus
history. 120 illustrations
