London Transport Green Line bus services - Bucks, Berks, Herts & Essex strolls and rambles booklet cover, 1934

One of a wide series of walks and rambles booklets issued by London Transport and its predecessors, this booklet gives details of walks from Green Line country bus and coach services in the northern part of the Green Line territory. The booklet cover is, by LT standards of the day, slightly clumsy although that may well be the reproduction/printing on quite coarse paper, and no artist is given. During the next few years these booklets - both rail and 'bus - would be subsumed into the "Country Walks" series that would run for many years. Most public transport operators issued similar publications to drum up trade and publicise the often extensive links into surrounding rural areas with details of walks and rambles.

 

This edition forms part 1 of 2 Green Line guides and covers the territory north of London. It included the counties of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire and Essex - large portions of which were served by the 'old' London Transport whose Green Line coaches and Country Area buses ran well outside today's Greater London boundaries.
