Description
Royal Blue Days explores the history of Royal Blue, a prominent name in the British bus and coach industry. The company's origins date back to the late 19th century when a horse-drawn coach service operated from Bournemouth. Over time, Royal Blue grew under the ownership of the Elliott family before being acquired by the Tilling Group's subsidiaries. This book delves into the day-to-day operations of Royal Blue and its connections with other operators in the areas it served. It focuses on the express services provided by the company until the mid-1960s. By examining these operations, readers can gain insight into the evolution of the industry during this period.
