Rich in anecdote, aesthetically sensitive, historically accurate, and wonderfully witty." - The Tablet"McKie works hard at his extreme bussing. Riding Route 94 gives us a potted history of everywhere goes, with some reflective observations about how things were and how they ought to be, and a few jokes thrown in." - Tribune"Anyone curious about what is going on in those parts of the country that never receive any attention from commentators, politicians or policymakers and who might like to further their understanding of why a majority voted to leave the EU should read David McKie s wise, funny and humane account of travels through the unknown Britain." - Literary Review"There is no dry analysis. Former deputy editor of the Guardian McKie is a highly readable writer, incapable of a dull sentence." - --Northern Echo About the Author David McKie is a former political reporter, deputy editor, chief leaderwriter and columnist ('Elsewhere' and 'Smallweed') for the Guardian, which he joined in 1965.

A good well-written well-observed round-up of Brexiting Britain. The insights ring true although not very surprising. Occasional humour too.He is good on the history of the places he visits and on describing the present landscape. I would maybe have liked a few more conversations with people in the local communities that he visits. Although maybe that is not surprising as on many buses he is the only passenger. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Average *by R***R on 31 October 2017* Not the kind of travel book I was expecting. To drawn out . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Masterpiece of Interesting and Highly-informed Social History, Mediated Through Bus Travel. *by G***Y on 2 March 2018* This is a fabulous book! My son bought this for part of my Christmas present.I am a bus enthusiast, but this isn't about buses, really, and no interest in buses is required, not a jot.McKie has a vast wealth of knowledge, easily and subtly dispensed through anecdote, local legend, conversation and in the general lubrication which permeates his text.The writer has an extremely acute eye and ear, his travels always reveal much fascinating detail. I found him an interesting and genial travelling partner. Given the widespread nature of his journeys, I expected some journeys to be less gripping than others, but this was not the case at all.The writing style is approachable, inviting and assured, a high intellect underpins the book, obviously. Given the writer was/is a Guardian journalist, I expected a liberal, left-wing stance, but, given I'm not really of that persuasion nowadays, though elements are still strongly in my experiential DNA, I thought it would be too political and "right on." It wasn't.A notice another reviewer was somewhat bored, I think that rather reflects the reader, not the writer, I cannot see how someone could not be enchanted and informed by this book. They thought it was a travel book. It isn't a travel book, really, though travel is the mediating factor, it is a book about people, places, beliefs, societies and society - two different things.It is, I my view, a cold and dull heart and mind which does not and cannot respond with enthusiasm to this book.I commend it unreservedly to all people with an active mind and a desire to think about our country and the things which make it a strange and rather compelling place to live. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/57048311-riding-route-94-an-accidental-journey-through-the-story-britain](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/57048311-riding-route-94-an-accidental-journey-through-the-story-britain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
