{"product_id":"londons-last-roofboxes-9781912695348","title":"London's Last Roofboxes","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over forty years, buses with their route number displays mounted in the centre of their front roof domes were a familiar sight in London. They were very much a hallmark of the London bus fleet, this device not often being used elsewhere. Widely used on buses of various pre-war types, such blind displays featured on most of the STD class and on almost a quarter of the huge RT class, latterly also on a few RTLs. The buses were nicknamed roofboxes, top-boxes and even lighthouses by enthusiasts and for this new volume, Jim Blake has meticulously checked the records of the last 360 or so of these distinctive-looking buses to operate at London’s service in the late 1960s to present a fascinating array of photographs of them from his archives, operating in all parts of the London Transport Central Area on a wide variety of routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback, 138 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visions International","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (GB102\/399)","offer_id":32941205127277,"sku":"9781912695348","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9781912695348.jpg?v=1597251436","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/londons-last-roofboxes-9781912695348","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
