NATIONAL BUS COMPANY: The Road to Privatisation (COUPON CODE - BSWFB1) - The publicly owned National Bus Company came into being on 1 January 1969, by far the single largest bus and coach owner in the United Kingdom, with operations stretching from Lands End to the far north of Northumberland and covering all of Wales. For a decade, the industry was destined to have some stability. This was to change as Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government adopted policies of deregulation and privatisation. The NBC was forced to prepare itself to be privatised. In the build up to privatisation, new companies were created out of the old familiar operators; London Country, for example, being divided into a number of smaller operating units.
This book provides a fascinating account of the NBC in this period. Illustrated throughout with a comprehensive selection of both mono and colour photographs, the book is a vivid reminder of the period, only 20 years ago, when NBC was the dominant force in Britain's bus and coach industry. The book will be required reading for all those who knew the period well and who are nostalgic for the era before the massive revolution in the industry from the mid-1980s onwards.

abc BUS & COACH RECOGNITION (5th Edition) (COUPON CODE - BSWFB2) - Fully revised account of all the latest developments giving a detailed look at the great variety of buses and coaches visible on the roads of Britain. Also includes details of body and chassis design and shows older designs as well as the latest state-of-the-art vehicles such as the Wright StreetCar Volvos working in York. 274 colour photos. 176 pages.
