Midland Red Influence is Ashley Wakelin’s follow-up and companion book to Inside Midland Red. This is a new and fascinating high quality Midland Red book. Like the earlier book it has two parts. Part One delves further into the history of Midland Red, including its origins, its vehicle design, and its pioneering use of pneumatic tyres and computers. Part Two covers the author’s 50 years in the bus and coach industry, and follows on from his time working for Midland Red that was covered in the second part of Inside Midland Red.

Midland Red Influence is over a third bigger than the earlier book, with three dozen varied chapters across 176 pages. It is amply illustrated by images taken from black & white and colour negatives, coloured plates and slides, most of which are previously unpublished.
