These in fact provide something of a contrast within themselves. The former has been largely the stamping ground of major operators for some 60 years, while the latter has had, and, indeed, still has, a far more substantial number of independent operators of stage services. In the years since 1945 which form the principal period reviewed, there has been a growth in industry in areas which were largely agricultural and residential and this has changed the tenor of some operations. The postwar boom in bus traffic was almost universal but first the south-east and then the east began to feel traffic recession since they include counties which have high car ownership percentages. One-man operation spread rapidly as a practice, a trend which included the local authority under-takings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Parke, managing editor of Buses magazine, has a close affiliation with the south-east, and this contributes to the wealth of detail provided in the numerous photo-graphs and informative captions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 18x24cm, 112 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Allan","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (246)","offer_id":58429872865663,"sku":"9780711008786","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/9780711008786.jpg?v=1789415548","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/buses-in-camera-south-east-9780711008786","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
