A couple more pages from the new Mick Webber book 'London Transport's Service Fleet'. That on the left shows some of the rare photos that have been used, while on the right is a page with location plans. It is important to mention the period covered by this book, as it is definitely focused on the 'traditional' London Transport period (1930s to 1970s). There are a few earlier photos, but no later ones. The coverage is also slightly biased towards the more interesting vehicles (such as breakdown tenders), presumably because of the photos that were available. Having said that, 'mundane' vehicles from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s are included, but there are (for example) no Ford Transits, and only one Ford Escort. Given the quality of this book, and the inclusion of so many 'new' photos, I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in service vehicles of the past. |
