Stunning previously unpublished images of these iconic buses in their heyday. All the photographs are in colour, originally in slide form, from which they have been digitally restored.
From 1967 to the late 1970s author David Christie visited many towns and cities in Britain, photographing the remaining traditional buses in service. This book concentrates on one marque – the AEC Regent, which was to be found generally in its Mk III variant and more so in the southern counties. ‘Up North’ was generally Leyland country, and a companion book covers the PD Leylands.
Travelling from Romford in Essex, the author’s home town, and starting with a brief LT selection, we call in along the South Coast before heading north to the Midlands and the Isle of Man, then on to Scotland, where the author relocated in 1973. All the photographs are in colour, originally in slide form, from which they have been digitally restored.

Born in Romford, Essex, in 1943, David Christie began photographing transport in 1962 when he decided to capture the final days of steam on Britain’s rail network. He also recorded buses, especially around London, before moving to Scotland, where he still lives today.
