This book looks at an important turning point in the history of the bus industry in Britain, 1967 marked the end of an era, when private and semi nationalised company s operated the bus networks in this country. After 1967 the network was never the same again, with the formation of the National Bus Company in 1968.
The N B C was a very bland organisation compared to the colourful bus companies that had existed before nationalisation. This comprehensive volume covers a large number of the bus company s throughout the country in 1967 and also has a good readable narrative describing Jim Blake s journeys travelling on these services across Britain.
