Vintage Buses in Glorious Devon Summary

Vintage Buses in Glorious Devon: A Journey in Colour by Roger Malone

There is a head-turning charm about heritage transport. And where better to showcase such preserved delights than glorious Devon? This book is an affectionate endeavour to celebrate a bygone era. One kept vividly alive, and on the road, by the dedication of owner enthusiasts. Here buses visit the county's spectacular coastlines, climb towards rugged Dartmoor tors, and pass through picturesque towns and rolling countryside. In more than 200 images the author, Roger Malone, has set out to portray the vehicles in surroundings that are sympathetic to the subject, and which often seem timeless. As well as depicting a fascinating array of heritage public transport, his photographs convey much of the county's superlative scenery - a delight enjoyed by both Devonians and visitors alike. And so we roam from a magical, rain-shiny running night at Exeter to high summer on Plymouth Hoe; from a climb over the high moors to Princetown, to the genteel Regency resort of Sidmouth. Throughout the book old companies will revive old memories. Royal Blue, Grey Cars, Devon General, Western National - all seen across diverse locations from North Devon to the south coast as we journey on this colourful trip into the past.

About Roger Malone

Roger Malone is a Devon-based feature writer, columnist and drama critic. Subjects range from personality interviews to antiques and heritage transport. Roger frequently illustrates his own features, and it was while covering the Kingsbridge Vintage Bus Running Day that he first became captivated by the charm and photographic potential of these vehicles. As a result he pursued them above and beyond the call of journalistic duty. Which was fortunate as it led to this book. Roger has previously published three colour albums on steam railways.
