In this, his second album on Irish buses, Richard Newman, not a
local but a native of Portsmouth, takes us on a journey through the
interesting bus scene of an Ireland very different to today, the
Ireland of the mid-1960s.In 1964, Richard had acquired an Ilford
Sportsman 35mm camera so he had the opportunity to better record
the Irish bus scene on his first visit in 1965. He returned in July
1967 for a more extensive tour and again for an extended day trip
in May 1968, this to record the closure of the Belfast trolleybus
system.Amongst other locations, Richard visited Belfast, Dublin,
Londonderry and Waterford where, as well as the interesting bus
scene, the backgrounds to his pictures also provide much interest,
some locations having changed greatly, other still very
recognisable today. In addition to the major operators - Belfast
Corporation Transport, Coras Iompair Eireann and the Ulster
Transport Authority/Ulsterbus - Richard also recorded the vehicles
of some better known operators in the independent sector, including
the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway Company.
