Ratby Service (The Story Of Astill & Jordan)

In his second publication Mick Gamble covers the history of one of Leicestershire's oldest private bus companies Astill and Jordan of Ratby, Astills ran regular, reliable bus services from Ratby to Leicester and the surrounding areas as well as providing school transport, contract work, private hire, tour and excursion work, for a total of more than 65 years. Astill and Jordan finally sold out to Wreake Valley Travel (Midland Fox) in November 1988. Over twenty five years have passed since that time and in common with the Browns Blue anniversary nearly two years ago, Mick feels that it is time to relive those memories before they are lost forever. 192 pages A4, softback with numerous photos full history and fleetlist.
