Roadside with London's Country Buses & Green Line Coaches

This book is being published to mark the 50th anniversary of the splitting off of the Country Area buses and Green Line coaches based in the Home Counties around London from London Transport on 1st January 1970, forming the National Bus Company subsidiary London Country Bus Services Ltd. Jim Blake had delved into his extensive photographic archives to present a graphic picture of these buses and coaches in their final years of London Transport operation in the 1960s, and through the 1970s by the end of which most former LT vehicles in the London Country fleet had been withdrawn. The book also takes a brief look at the London Country fleet in the early 1980s, before its fragmentation and privatisation. Much of its content is previously unpublished, and many rare and unusual scenes are featured.
