About These Pages

I have been interested in transport history for a long time and, in 1999, started collecting information about various transport undertakings that I had a particular interest in, initially for my own use. As my collection of notes began to grow I decided that they may be of interest to local historians and enthusiasts in general, and so began developing a website.
For many years these records have been bandied about the Internet on various sites but, finally, I have decided that they should be published on my own site, and, hopefully, this is where they will remain for the foreseeable future.

Operator Fleet Histories

This section contains brief histories of municipal and private undertakings and records of vehicles owned and operated by such undertakings, all information being compiled with reference to various sources. These are written in a 'local history' style and are intended to be brief summaries of the undertakings concerned and are not concise histories, which can be obtained elsewhere. There are only a limited number of histories available at present. This is an ongoing project and I hope to add more in due course as time permits.

General Histories

This section contains general histories about the development of various modes of road transport (e.g. horse bus, tram, trolleybus etc.). These are only intended to be summaries and are not concise histories.

Manufacturer Histories

Histories of UK chassis and body makers - now all just a memory! Once again these are summaries and not concise histories.

Pioneers

Short biographies of some of the pioneers of road transport, along with the pioneering companies and vehicles that improved the lot of the traveller.
