A pictorial history of the Midland Red bus company, from its beginnings to its final days, by one of its former bus operators.
Midland Red in Retrospect covers the period during the 1960s when the Midland Red bus company dominated the Midlands, operating the lion's share of the bus services and also the express coach services from the Midlands to London and other locations.
Like London Transport, Midland Red had a very distinctive image and its own fleet of vehicles designed exclusively for its operations. This volume is written by someone who worked for the company during this period and reflects the colour and atmosphere of this much-loved and well-remembered bus operator.
Sadly the author passed away in September 2020, before the book was published and this volume of Midland Red bus pictures is a tribute to him.
