London Buses - Bibliography

Tuesday night (10 January) was our first talk of 2012.  There was, yet again, a most satisfying turnout of around 90 members to listen to Professor Danny Gorman speaking about the history behind London buses.  I now know the origin of the term "omnibus". 
Professor Gorman has very kindly supplied us with the bibliography of the sources he used while researching his topic.  Members may find it useful.
