GLORY DAYS: United Counties

The future United Counties, established in 1913 as the Wellingborough Motor Omnibus Co , expanded to become the predominant bus operator in much of the rural East Midlands. Acquired by Thomas Tilling Ltd in 1931, the company expanded its area of operation considerably in 1952 when it acquired 240 vehicles as a result of the transfer of Eastern National's routes in the area. Like that of most of the Tilling Group companies, over the years United Counties' fleet was manufactured largely by Bristol and ECW, with the result that many of the classic Bristol/ECW models, such as the Lodekka and the RE, featured prominently. As with other titles in the `Glory Days' series, this includes a comprehensive selection of colour and mono photographs recording the company's vehicles and operations from the earliest days through to the early 1970s.
