This is a book for those interested in all things to do with road transport as its subject is about those who administer and organise traffic rather than those who operate it. This book illustrates the significant changes that have occurred in the road haulage and passenger transport industries. The duties of the Traffic Commissioners, originally set up in 1931, have also been through a number of changes over this period, they now have a range of responsibilities including the licensing of operators of goods vehicles and of buses and coaches. 116p. s/b. with appendices, maps and a few photographs - mainly of those who have served in the role.
