Description
Wessex Buses 1970-1985: Mainland National Bus Company Fleets by Malcolm Batten The bus scene in southern England underwent significant changes between 1970 and 1985. The National Bus Company brought together various fleets, including those of Hants & Dorset, Wilts & Dorset, and Southdown, creating a new standard National liveries. This period of change also saw the loss of independent operators, such as King Alfred Motor Services, which was acquired by the National Bus Company in 1973. The National Bus Company's mainland fleets in the Wessex region, covering areas from Portsmouth to Weymouth and inland to Salisbury and Basingstoke, underwent various changes during this time. The book provides a detailed account of these changes, including the mergers and reorganizations that took place, and the impact on the bus scene in the region. This book is the first in a pair of volumes about the bus scene in Wessex during the 1970s and 1980s. It offers a comprehensive look at the National Bus Company's mainland fleets in the region, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of public transportation in southern England.
