A fresh mix of something for everyone

摘要

The past 12 months may have been unprecedented for many, but the latest Buses Yearbook presents a reassuringly familiar blend of contemporary and historic topics, all comprehensively illustrated. Although most people's plans for overseas travel have been thwarted this year, Colin Douglas and Tim Carter provide readers with a virtual tour of Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand, sharing a range of views of buses that are largely familiar to British eyes, albeit that many are actually manufactured overseas. For those whose interest lies closer to home, John Young shares his experiences of a visit to south-west England in the summer of 2019, capturing the scene before Go South West won contracts to operate tendered services in Cornwall, while Chris Drew describes earlier trips to the Isle of Wight.
