In his preface to this highly informative and delightfully illustrated picture album, London Transport Museum director Sam Mullins explains that public transport was the medium that turned the north-eastern boroughs of Leyton, Walthamstow and Chingford into suburbs of Greater London. The book tells a story from stage coach to Stagecoach, from horse-drawn conveyors of wealthy merchants to the City in the 18th century to an Enviro400 double-decker of Stagecoach London collecting commuters from Highams Park railway station. From tramway electrification in 1905 to electrification of bus routes 115 years later. |
