Has Anyone Written Any Books On Buses?

[JoeyVimsante]

I like to use buses.
I enjoy books about buses and bus stations. I have been to many buses stations.
Bus stations are a vital and important part of transport infrastructure, and even the landscape of urban regions.

In answer to the question in the thread title, there are a LOT of books about buses.

Key Publishing (they do 'Buses' Magazine) are one publisher, there are others. Many books come up on the second hand market, and e-bay and amazon have quite a selection. sales stands at bus rallies / events are another source.

There are a couple of books on London Transport bus garages (depots in some regional parlance) which may be a bit specialised. There have also been a couple of books on Victoria Coach Station, one published in 1982 to mark its 50th birthday, and another in 2022.

And this specifically on bus stations - https://www.waterstones.com/book/bus-stations-in-britain/kevin-mccormack/9781854144560 (other retailers are of course available.)

When you ask if anyone has written any books about buses, are you thinking about writing your own book and are looking for some advice about how to go about it?

Or, are you just looking for a list of recommended books to read? You've mentioned bus stations in particular - is this your main area of interest?

As Roger has explained above, many books have been published over the years and they cover a wide range of topics!

The late Ian Allan springs to mind , also the late Alan Townsin, T B Maund Geoffrey Hilditch. all sadly deceased. Gavin Booth still happily with us. It depends what aspect of bus operation you are seeking.
