Description
BAXTER`S OF AIRDRIE ISBN 9780752442297
by Douglas G McDonald
The blue and ivory vehicles of Baxter's Bus Service were once a common sight in and around the Monklands area of North Lanakshire. The Airdrie-based company had been reluctantly swallowed up by Scottish Omnibuses in the early 1960s, but it took until the late 1970s for the distinctive livery to disappear completely from the streets of the neighbouring towns. Douglas G. MacDonald takes us on a tour of Baxter's operations, with images of the company's fleet and its employees in both Airdrie and Coatbridge, and the surrounding outskirts including Coatdyke, Whifflet, Craigneuk and Townhead. Using original photographs, combined with information and memories from the founder's grandson, he tells the story of what was once Scotland's largest independent bus operator.
Book 16.4cm x 23.6cm
Softback
128 Pages
150 B&W & 25 Colour Photographs
