Critics Review
‘A book that looks at the less familiar breakers as much as it does those still operational today, it is a volume that really should not be missed and one that will be looked at time and time again.’ – Bus Fayre, Summer 2025‘Definitively an interesting volume!’ – Bus and Coach Buyer, June 2025‘Breaking used to be concentrated in certain areas of the UK, where metal recycling facilities were, but now it has become a nationwide activity. Keith Jenkinson remembers the buses that have disappeared from our daily road transport scene, evoking memories of a bygone era.’ – Heritage Commercials Magazine, August 2025
