British Bus System

This Book is about the history of the Dodds and AA motor busses.
Facts
*Dodds business started in 1910 in Portland, Troon
*Going on a bus was a holiday
*There was a lot of full day bus trips
There were alot of interesting facts in this book.I liked the pictures and thought the book had been put together well.
I would recomdend this to all the bus fans in Scotland.It was a really good book.
