Eastern National Fleet Record Volume 3: 1996-2004

The biggest book yet in this series, Volume 3 covers a turbulent 8 year period, from the reunification of the Eastern National and Thamesway fleets in 1996 through to the start of the First Group corporate numbering scheme (the so-called 'Sema' renumbering) in 2004. This was a time of great change and the book lists almost 1,000 different buses and coaches and also spans the move from local liveries to Barbie and later Barbie 2, plus the interim 'Barbie 1½', all illustrated in colour, the front and back cover pictures nicely encapsulate those changes.
