When one considers the public transportation scene in the southwest over the years, two names often come to mind: Western National and Devon General. However, as this book with a unique twist reveals, there was so much more to it. While it showcases buses from various operators, both large and small, it does so by following the route of one of the most renowned walks in England. The South West Coast Path spans an impressive 630 miles, starting from Minehead in Somerset, traversing Devon and Cornwall along the north coast to Land's End, and then returning along the south coast to Poole harbor in Dorset. It boasts breathtaking scenery and frequently ranks among the world's best walks. This is not just a book about public transportation; it doubles as a traveler's guide to the many sights and activities along the length of the Coast Path. Readers can envision themselves aboard their own imaginary tour bus, stopping at key points along the way. The photographs of buses date from the 1920s to the 2010s, featuring over twenty-five different operators. Additionally, there are brief notes on how the Coast Path connects these places and the availability of modern-day bus services between them. If any further encouragement is needed to plan a visit to the area, scenic views of some of the most picturesque locations are also included. It is hoped that this unique volume will appeal not only to bus enthusiasts but to anyone interested in exploring this magnificent part of the country.
