In this series, Richard Stubbings traces the changing, ever-evolving nature of bus scenes around south-west and south-east England.

This book, comprising previously unpublished photographs, offers a nostalgic tour of Wiltshire and Dorset, from the early 1970s to the present day. It charts the changes in vehicles, from those of the author’s childhood to the current scene – even revisiting many of the same locations.

'This is a nostalgic trip through this era of change, reminding us that the period covered contained much more variety than we see now.' * PSV Circle, March 2024 *
'This is a book that will be looked at time and time again with every picture telling a story, and is one that can be heartily recommended to all bus enthusiasts whether or not they have a particular interest in the area covered.' * Bus Fayre Magazine, Spring 2024 *
'Another very nice book, perfect for the coffee-table from Amberley books.' * Heritage Commercials Magazine, April 2024 *
'An excellent combination of the past and present, this book presents a scene that has slowly changed across more than ten decades and as such will be welcomed by those who are familiar with the territory covered as well as those who are not.' * Bus Fayre, Autumn 2024 *
