Synopsis
On previous journeys through Britain, David McKie headed for places he had heard of and was eager to see. But how true, how representative a picture of the country could that provide? What, he wondered, might happen if he let chance dictate his itinerary? McKie decides to travel only where he was taken by buses with the number 94, stopping off along the way to visit often unexpected places. Chance also takes the form of unexpected encounters at the bus stop or stumbling across some fascinating slice of local history in a country churchyard. Eschewing such simplistic generalizations as the "north-south divide," he nonetheless finds themes emerging: Why do some communities thrive and grow while others seem set on a course of inevitable decline--sometimes even communities living cheek by jowl? What kind of urban landscape have we inherited from the post-war planners, whose best intentions too often took little account of how people actually want to live? And how much are our opportunities and expectations shaped by the communities we are born into? These buses will take David McKie across the idyllic Isle of Mull (where the driver pauses to let him drink in the view), to the furthest reaches of Cornwall ("in England, but certainly not of England"), through the post-industrial landscape of Middlesbrough, and to a whole host of places, some privileged, some bereft, some in-between. So get your ticket from the driver and take your seat: you're about to discover that some of the most unexpected things in this ever-surprising country are to be glimpsed through the window of the number 94 bus., On previous journeys through Britain, David McKie headed for places he had heard of and was eager to see. But how true, how representative a picture of the country could that provide? What, he wondered, might happen if he let chance dictate his itinerary? McKie decides to travel only where he was taken by buses with the number 94, stopping off along the way to visit often unexpected places.

Eschewing such simplistic generalisations as the 'north-south divide', he nonetheless finds themes emerging: Why do some communities thrive and grow while others seem set on a course of inevitable decline - sometimes even communities living cheek by jowl? What kind of urban landscape have we inherited from the post-war planners, whose best intentions too often took little account of how people actually want to live? And how much are our opportunities and expectations shaped by the communities we are born into? These buses will take David McKie across the idyllic Isle of Mull (where the driver pauses to let him drink in the view), to the furthest reaches of Cornwall ('in England, but certainly not of England'), through the post-industrial landscape of Middlesbrough, and to a whole host of places, some privileged, some bereft, some in between. This is a journey that will make the reader discover unfamiliar places for the first time and see familiar places through fresh eyes. So get your ticket from the driver and take your seat: you're about to discover that some of the most unexpected things in this ever-surprising country are to be glimpsed through the window of the number 94 bus.
