JACKSON, B.L. - Isle of Portland Railways. Volume Three: Railway, Associated and Other Bus Services.

Usk: The Oakwood Press, 2000. 0853615667. 1st edition. "This is the story of natural progression, as railways replaced the stage coach, so with the fullness of time the bus and coach were to usurp the railways, and in the case of Portland were able to provide a service the railway could never match. Indeed the motor car can now provide a personal service superior to the bus, such has been the progress of the past hundred years!..In this volume the author has attempted to cover the 70 years since the first horse-drawn omnibus opened a stage carriage service in Weymouth, a convenient cut off date being 1969 with the formation of the National Bus Company." Pp.224, many black & white photos throughout, owner's initials to top of title page and gift message to inside front cover. Paperback. G+.
