This is the illustrated story of the development of bus and tram services in the Edinburgh area in the period following the deregulation of bus services.

There are examples of transport providers both new and old - some of these are long-term survivors, while others have disappeared or become part of other operators. The book details how today's Edinburgh trams developed after years of delays and overspent budgets and how travel in the Edinburgh and Lothians continues to develop.

Here, Richard Walter has put together a fine selection of photographs showing how areas have changed beyond recognition and how the city has experienced everything from bus wars to a better level of integration of transport.
