National Bus Company: The Early Years

National Bus Company: The Early Years Synopsis

The years from 1969 to 1975 were a time of great change for buses in England and Wales as operations were consolidated and rationalised under the publicly owned National Bus Company. Many old, familiar operators such as Hebble, Midland General and Brighton, Hove & District were lost and new ones such as Alder Valley and London Country Bus Services were set up. Liveries were standardised across the NBC fleets, as were the vehicles being used. Explore the early years of the National Bus Company with this wonderfully evocative collection of period colour and black and white photographs compiled by transport historian Kevin Lane.
