A comprehensive overall look at the last year of British buses, before nationalisation.
This book looks at an important turning point in the history of the bus industry in Britain, 1967 marked the end of an era, when private and semi nationalised company's operated the bus networks in this country. After 1967 the network was never the same again, with the formation of the National Bus Company in 1968. The N B C was a very bland organisation compared to the colourful bus companies that had existed before nationalisation. This comprehensive volume covers a large number of the bus company's throughout the country in 1967 and also has a good readable narrative describing Jim Blake's journeys travelling on these services across Britain.

Jim Blake was born at the end of 1947, and he soon developed a passionate interest in railways, buses and trolleybuses. In 1965, he bought a colour cine-camera, with which he captured what is now very rare footage of long-lost buses, trolleybuses and steam locomotives. These transport photographs have been published in various books and magazines. Jim also started the North London Transport Society and, in conjunction with the group, he has compiled and published a number of books on the subject since 1977, featuring many of the 100,000 or so transport photographs he has taken over the years.
