Previously unpublished photographs of the Buses and Coaches taken in the traditional areas of Glamorgan and Gwent.
This book covers bus and coach operators in South East Wales between 1968 and 1979. In 1968 South East Wales consisted of the counties of Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire; the 1974 Local Government Reorganisation saw Glamorganshire split into three (Mid, South and West Glamorgan) and Monmouthshire renamed Gwent, all with some boundary changes.
Most of the vehicles and many of the operators depicted in this book no longer exist, so it is very much a nostalgic collection. As well as stage-carriage and coach operators, the author has included a small number of non-PSVs where the vehicle and/or operator is of interest.
Step back in time and experience the eclectic variety of buses that formed the backbone of public transport on the roads of South East Wales.

Mike Street has lived in Cardiff since his birth in 1953. His interest in buses started in 1965, when a classmate at high school produced a copy of Ian Allan’s ‘British Bus Fleets’ book. After a career in local government, early retirement has given Mike the opportunity to begin scanning the 20,000-plus photographs he has taken over the years.
