Title: West Wilts and surrounding area bus history sought Post by: grahame on December 28, 2011, 09:26:57 I'm researching local bus history as part of a "brief history or transport and transport industries in the Melksham area" paper than I'm writing over the next few months - planned to be informally published as a booklet, and with old and new photos, diagrams, etc.
Does anyone have any old bus guides, books, references, photos, etc from West Wilts / Bath / Devizes / Chippenham that might help me ... full acknowledgements will of course be included. I'm looking back to surprisingly recent times - it seems that there's very little local bus history indeed online. It's almost as if buses didn't exist before the Web!
