East Midlands Buses, Trolleybuses & Coaches in the 1960s

This fourth book featuring Jim Blake's photographs of buses, coaches and trolleybuses outside London in the 1960s covers operators in the East Midlands. In that area, effectively comprising Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, there was a fascinating array of fleets with a wide variety of vehicles. These ranged from the municipal fleets, two of which still had trolleybuses, to major operators in the B.E.T. and Tilling Groups and to a variety of independent fleets, the best known of which was Barton of Chilwell who had a very diverse collection of vehicles indeed. Many of these photographs have never been published before.
