  • More about On Trial: Bus and Coach Demonstrators

Bus and coach operators have experimented with vehicle types to find the best fit for their requirements, resulting in large orders and unique one-off vehicles. Richard Walter has selected photographs from the recent past to reveal the types that were popular, adapted, and developed.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 96 pages
Publication date: 15 June 2024
Publisher: Amberley Publishing


Bus and coach operators have been conducting experiments with vehicle types for many years to identify the most suitable options for their needs. By borrowing buses and coaches from manufacturers and other operators, they can evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of new and existing chassis and bodywork designs, explore hybrid and electric technology, test features such as electric mirrors, and even consider the implementation of fully autonomous vehicles. These trials often lead to significant orders. Richard Walter has curated a diverse collection of photographs from recent years, along with a few older examples, to showcase the types that were popular, those that were adapted and developed, and even some that never made it to the market. Additionally, there are examples of unique one-off vehicles that were later purchased and put into service.
