Cumbria Buses

As a young teenager and bus enthusiast in 1961 the author went for an extended holiday in Barrow-in-Furness, a large but remote shipbuilding town in the Furness district which is part of modern day Cumbria but at that time was in Lancashire. Although originally from Yorkshire the author has since retired to not far from here so the book has double interest for him. Using family photographs augmented with others from enthusiasts and societies the author has produced an overview of bus operations in Barrow spanning a 40 year period. With details of buses used, routes and destinations it has the information the bus enthusiast desires and at the same time is a nostalgic romp through the buses of old that took the people of Barrow to school and to their work.
