The buses and coaches of the Solent Blue Line Bus Company serve some of the most attractive countryside and towns in southern England, from the ancient cathedral city of Winchester and the old market towns of Eastleigh and Romsey to the popular coastal resorts of Southampton and Lymington, and from Hampshire villages to the beautiful New Forest.

Chris Harris has unearthed a wealth of period views of the region - taken over the last 100 years - and conducts us on a nostalgic exploration of the company’s routes, helped by photographs showing the same scenes today. For the transport enthusiast there is also the additional delight of a section devoted to the buses themselves, including evocative interior views. Includes: * Southampton * Romsey * Eastleigh and Chandlers Ford * Hamble * Farehamt * Bishops Waltham * and many more.
