GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
An Aussie Busman's holiday in Western Europe
When a busman goes on holidays it won't be a holiday from looking at buses!
This adventure takes in our holidays to European countries such as France, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Estonia, Italy and Malta.
We have had several trips to Europe dating from 1985 to 2010.
As usual public transport operators and their buses are featured and also touring coaches through the ages. Designs vary from angular, classic to modern designs. Numerous chassis makes are represented including some unusual brands that never made it to Australia.
The book shows an interesting contrast between the decades. It also covers many bodybuilders from small production factories to the various OEM builders.
It was really interesting to see the National loyalties given to domestic chassis suppliers. Of course, suppliers such as Setra were found across the continent in most countries.
My personal preferences are for the Parisian and Italian route buses although many of the coaches are inspiring too. We trust you will enjoy this Aussie Busman’s holiday!
