BUS OPERATORS 1970: Midlands and Wales

Bus Operators 1970 Midlands and Wales by Gavin Booth:

By 1970, bus and coach operations in the English Midlands and Wales were dominated by the subsidiaries of the newly-created NBC, most notably Midland Red, Crosville, Western Welsh and South Wales Transport, although there were still numerous municipal operations in places such as Cardiff, Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. The municipal operations in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Walsall and West Bromwich had recently been transferred to the newly-created PTE. In 1970 most ex-municipal vehicles in service retained their traditional liveries and a wide variety of vehicle types were still to be seen.

This fourth book in our new series covers all of Wales and the English counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire,Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire. The operators featured include the remaining municipal operators in the region, the subsidiaries of the NBC and the newly-formed West Midlands PTE The book is comprehensively illustrated throughout with both mono and colour photographs.
