"The Maintenance of Headway" by Magnus Millshello."The Maintenance of Headway" by Magnus Mills It made me laugh. short read, a fictional London Transport. Don't read this if frequent swearing offends you. http://www.newstatesman.com/books/2009/08/bus-driver-mills-headway Much of this charming novella is given over to drivers' discussions about the daily struggle of maintaining headway, and the misery of incurring the wrath of hubristic bus inspectors when they fail. Although the dialogue, which is littered with moments of sublimely deadpan humour, is the most impressive thing about the book, the plot is perfectly serviceable and engaging. PS, please don't sinbin this to the 'not relevant' pile, I got my copy from Brisbane City Library! http://elibcat.library.brisbane.q...IFPNcd2e7a/ZZELIBCAT/16160032/123 Which also has a bunch of stuff in search on 'Bus Drivers' : http://elibcat.library.brisbane.q...0032/18/X650/XSUBJECT/Bus+drivers User avatar ggm Posts: 36 Joined: Fri Feb 29, 2008 4:10 pm Location: Brisbane Favourite Vehicle: AEC routemaster * Private message |
