| 摘要： | The Biblical expression about wisdom coming out of the mouths of babes and sucklings springs to mind at a point in this masterful study of how the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company failed to adapt quickly enough -if at all - to the lifestyle and employment changes of the 1950s and 1960s and lost out to the private car. Ben Colson's extensive research included an enthusiast website where he found a post from someone who, in 1974 as a self-confessed "13-year-old bus nut", identified the consistent nonsense of a modern 53-seat single-decker operating a poorly patronised Saturday mid-morning country service out of Wisbech while a 39-seat converted coach routinely left passengers behind on a busy departure for King's Lynn. |
