First appearing in 1972, National Express coaches have become a familiar
site on the UK's roads, and are very much a part of popular culture,
celebrated in songs and on television. With many former National Express
vehicles finding their way to preservation, this book explores the
history of this very British brand and celebrates the history and
heritage of a British institution. The book covers the operations of the
business, the evolution of the National Express brand and the
development of the fleet up to the latest Caetano Levante, a vehicle
designed to meet the operator's very specific requirements for
accessibility. Featuring driver stories and passenger memories, together
with detailed images, photographs and designs, this book celebrates 50
years of coaching history.
