| | The present upsurge of interest (largely fuelled by Venture's multi-part hardback history) in perhaps the greatest of all the provincial bus companies, United Automobile Services Ltd, is well served by this engaging little book from former Redcar resident Colin Plucknett. In his formative years in the 1960s, Colin had the dual benefit of living in a seaside town, and one that was served by United buses. He writes lovingly of the passenger transport scene in and around this North Yorkshire resort and at the same time gives a mine of information for the enthusiast. Contents:
