Routes to Recovery London Buses 1945-52

In 1945, after six years of war, London Transport found itself with a fleet of motor buses, trams and trolleybuses impoverished by the enforced neglect and lack of materials which were an inevitable consequence of wartime conditions. This book takes a look at the seven years following the end of the war and at the measures that had to be taken to keep bus services running with a time-expired fleet.
