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.
