British Buses, 1967
Published by Pen & Sword Books
The story of a turning-point year in Britain’s bus industry, with numerous photos and “extensive and informative” captions (Trolleybus Magazine).
1967 was the year that preceded the end of an era, when private and semi-nationalized companies operated the bus networks in Britain. After 1967, the network was never the same again, with the formation of the National Bus Company in 1968.
The NBC was a very bland organization compared to the colorful bus companies that had existed before nationalization, and many small municipal fleets amalgamated to form Passenger Transport Executives. This comprehensive volume covers a large number of the bus companies throughout the country in 1967—and Jim Blake also provides lively descriptions of his journeys traveling on these services across Britain.
