Foreword by Frank Clegg, Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport - This volume of the "Buses in Ulster" series comprehensively covers the activities of Citybus Limited, with particular emphasis on its bus fleet, from the transfer of the undertaking from Belfast Corporation to the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company and encompasses the years between 1973 and 1988. The organization was led throughout this period by the inimitable, and highly respected, Werner Heubeck CBE, Managing Director of both Ulsterbus and Citybus. Delivery of service was overseen by the late Max Hale with engineering responsibilities under the auspices of the late Tom Campbell. It is inevitable that the content of this book is heavily influenced by the effects of civil unrest and the difficult operating conditions which pertained throughout the fifteen years. Whilst the fleet inherited by Citybus from Belfast Corporation Transport Department had amounted to 350 operational vehicles in 1973 the requirement had reduced to 297 by 1988. The more surprising statistic is that in the intervening years regrettably 500 Citybuses were totally destroyed. I cannot record this without.
