Gavin Booth Bus Operators 1970 book: South East & Eastern Counties:
In 1970 the British bus and coach scene was radically different to that of today. Most large urban areas still saw municipally-owned fleets; trolleybuses were active in a small number of places and thoughts of a tramway revival were years away. Although the National Bus Company and Scottish Bus Group had been established, their constituents still largely retained their individual identities. Virtually every bus and coach in use was British-built, and any suggestion of the demise of such great names as Bristol, Leyland and Eastern Coach Works would have been laughable. In the first of a new series, Gavin Booth steps back in time to examine in depth the great variety of operators, municipal, nationalised and independent, that existed in 1970 in Southeast England and to record the wide range of vehicles types they used, in a fine selection of colour and mono photos.
