ISBN: 9781862077942 - the bus we loved: london's affair with the routemaster (11 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Slowly, month by month, route by route, London is losing one of its most famous symbols: the Routemaster bus - a bus designed and made in London, by Londoners for Londoners, which is to London what the gondola is to Venice. In terms of postcards, books, films, and cheap souvenirs, and in the eyes of the world, the Routemaster represents the city just as much as Big Ben. It was the last bus to be have conductors as well as drivers, the last bus to ring familiar shouts that are at least a century old: Fares please, Full up inside but room on top, Next stop the British Museum! The last bus, in other words, to be a proper bus. In this fond history, Travis Elborough tells the story of the routemaster's invention, rise and decline, of the people who worked on it, and of the enthusiasts who were mad about it. The streets will never be the same again.…

Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2nd Impression. Hardback. The Bus We Loved. Could a city grow to love anything so humble - so pedestrian, if you like - as a particular type of bus? It happened in London with the now near-vanished Routemaster, a bus that climbed higher in the city's affections the rarer it became. It wasn't just a bus but a symbol of the city: what the gondola is to Venice. Its distinctive shape drove through films and TV shows and appeared on millions of sourvenirs. It was the last bus to be designed and built in London, by Londoners, for Londoners, the last bus in Britain to have conductors as well as drivers, the last bus to ring to familiar shouts that are least a century old: fares please, full-up inside but room on top, next stop the British Museum! The last bus, in others words, to be . a proper bus. In this fond history, the author tells the story of the Routemaster's invention, rise and decline, of the people who worked on it, of the enthusiasts who were made about it.
