In 1961 the maximum length of single-deckers was increased to 36 feet. Bristol Commercial Vehicles and Eastern Coach Works designed their first rear-engined single-decker to take advantage of this new length.Two prototypes were built and tested in service in 1962. United Automobile Services had the RELL version with a low chassis frame for bus work. South Midland had the RELH version with a high frame for coach work. Production started in 1963, with Eastern Coach Works-bodied buses and coaches for the nationalised Tilling Group companies, plus some Alexander-bodied coaches for the nationalised Scottish Motor Traction Group companies.In this book the author illustrates the Bristol RE in service from 1970 to 1994 in England and North Wales. This includes Tilling Group companies, National Bus Company subsidiaries, municipal operators and independents, some of the new companies created from bus deregulation and privatisation from 1986, plus a few more recent photos of preserved Bristol REs.

Every ruin tells a storyAcross the vast expanse of space and time lie the remnants of civilizations that reached for the stars—and vanished.Silent cities carved into asteroids. Derelict megastructures drifting between galaxies. Temples buried beneath the red sands of dead worlds.This book contains 13 bold tales of humanity's encounters with these cosmic ruins. Think Indiana Jones meets Arthur C. Clarke.Follow determined xenoarchaeologists as they reconstruct the fall of an ancient alien civilization, or track seasoned salvage crews discovering terrible truths in abandoned waystations.These stories capture the thrill of discovery while grappling with the humbling reality of our place in the cosmos.Includes the following short stories:"e;Blood Halo"e; by M.G.
