The late R. C. (Dick) Riley was best-known as one of the country's foremost railway photographer. Less well-known was his interest in road transport. It was from the late 1960s onwards that he regularly recorded the changing bus scene in and around Greater London. In this volume Matt Wharmby, whose earlier books on the London Titan and London Metrobus are regarded as the definitive accounts of these two types, has thoroughly researched Dick Riley's collection to put together this new all-colour album featuring London Transport buses at the close of its glory days, from 1970 to 1984. This is a brand new, unread copy.
