Hertfordshire Buses

From 1933 to the end of the 1960s, most of the bus services in Hertfordshire were in the hands of London Transport's Country Services, with standardised green buses. These vehicles and routes were passed to the National Bus Company in 1969, with a new green London Country livery being adopted, though within five years it was replaced by NBC corporate colours. The 1970s and 1980s saw London Country's fleet brought up to a modern standard. The Thatcher government's policies brought about the split of London Country, with Hertfordshire being unequally divided between the North East and North West businesses. Since then, there has been Sovereign, County Bus, Luton and District, which eventually all came together to become part of the Arriva Group. London Transport's Potters Bar Garage found itself in Hertfordshire after boundary changes in the 1960s, bringing red buses into the south of the county and reaching as far away as St Albans.
