THE LONG REACH: MANCHESTER & SALFORD'S CROSS-BOUNDARY BUS SERVICES 1961-2015
Written by Martin Arthur.
Stock no. 1829067
Published by The Museum Of Transport. 1st 2015. Slightly better than very good condition.

Often Corporation bus services served simply their own towns and cities. It was not uncommon for services to end at a boundary, even when the logical traffic objective was a little way beyond. Manchester amd Salford's muncipal bus operations observed no such niceties. They galloped on in cavalier fashion, ignoring boundaries and providing useful links with surrounding towns. Large format. Pictorial cardwraps. Colour & b/w photos. 128 pages. ISBN: 9780946022021. A very nice copy.
