Turns – WHATS THE TIME 1969

Description

Authored by the qualified Keith Turns (Dip TS) and published in February 1969 in ‘The Omnibus Magazine’, this two-page, text-dense feature offers a fascinating, in-depth analysis of UK omnibus timetables from the era. Turns meticulously examines the evolution of timetable formats, regional operator variations, standardization efforts (or lack thereof), and the differing attitudes towards advertising and inter-company cooperation among bus companies. Presented in a classic two-column magazine layout with minimal imagery, this piece is a meticulously researched document, providing valuable historical insight for transport enthusiasts and historians. Its professional perspective, evidenced by the author’s qualification and detailed observations, makes it a trustworthy primary source for understanding public transport marketing and operational norms of the late 1960s.
