Roadside with the RM

The Roadside Series' features the various bus types that have, or continue to operate in London. One thing 'The Roadside' series isn't, is a definitive history, that's been done. Instead we give an overview of the day to day operations with photos that also bring back memories of life when the buses were operating. It might be through the milkman delivering his bottles or a store/pub that no longer exists, but it is memories, nostalgia, a time to float back to the days of your youth, the 'Good Old Days'. The third volume features the RMs from the '60s through to the Noughties. Jim Blake has created a collection of over 300 photographs which perfectly hit the remit for the series. The buses are fascinating but there is plenty of other interest in most of the photos, look beyond the bus! In addition, each is captioned with a wealth of historical information. Each section has a theme and Jim uses them to takes us on a remarkable tour through London during the days of the mighty RM.
