This book offers a concise, chronological history of bus and coach
travel, exploring the significant contribution this form of travel
has made to the development of Britain’s tourism industry.
Through eight chapters the book explores the way that bus and coach
travel has evolved, from early horse-drawn carriages to the latest
electric buses, taking readers on a journey of technological
innovation, public and private sector ownership and competition
between rail, air and road transport. Along the way, Peter Robinson
and Harry Cameron look at both scientific developments and the role
of buses and coaches in popular culture, examining the public’s
enduring fascination with group travel, coach tours and heritage
collections.
