Critics Review
‘This album gives a good flavour of the content of the fleet over its first quarter century, in which modern Alexander Dennis, Optare, Wright, VDL and Volvo single-deckers have been joined at times by a few double-deckers, four coaches and such rarities as Leyland Swift with Wright Consort body.’ – Buses Magazine, June 2025‘While this book is not intended to be a complete history of D&G, its accompanying text records all its ownership and other changes as well as its fleet development and livery changes through around 170 excellent photographs, and in every respect it can be highly recommended and one that will be looked at time and time again and as such should not be missed.’ – Bus Fayre, Summer 2025‘Cliff Beeton has put together a comprehensive overview of the D&G fleet carrying a multitude of liveries over the past 26 years, not surprisingly dominated by the business’ stalwarts over that period, the Optare Solo and AD Enviro 200.’ – Bus & Coach Buyer, July 2025
