This book celebrates 90 years of Eden Bus Services. Mention that name to anyone above a certain age in Bishop Auckland, and thoughts turn to immaculately presented red and ivory buses, crewed by cheery staff operating a reliable and punctual bus service, in all weathers. Indeed, it is often said, 'The Eden always got through!' Though The Eden was sold to North East Bus (the parent company of United) in 1995, and the name faded away under the corporate image of Arriva, the name 'The Eden' was rescued by Graeme Scarlett, a Shildon businessman who drove for The Eden in the 1970s. Consequently, Eden buses still ply the streets of Bishop Auckland as though nothing happened, and even running out of the garage established in West Auckland, by the Summerson Brothers in the 1930s. This book records the history of this plucky little independent bus operator, and will bring to the attention of bus enthusiasts everywhere the fortunes of The Eden.
