Those with a strong constitution may survive seeing a picture of yours truly on the front illustrated cover, as a young conductor in December 1957, long enough to open the pages and enjoy this fabulous book. As well as an incredible wealth of detail about the vehicles and services it also provides much atmosphere about social conditions and local history over the years.
