| One of the great names of the British bus and coach industry was Royal Blue, whose vehicles were a familiar sight on the express routes between London and the West Country.
For many years, Royal Blue was the name adopted by the Southern National and Western National companies for their express services, but the origins of the name date back to the late 19th century when a horse drawn coach service linked Bournemouth with the Southampton & Dorchester Railway. The Royal Blue operation grew under the ownership of the Elliott family until it was acquired by the two subsidiaries of the Tilling Group. As part of this group, the company ultimately ended up integrated into the National Bus Company and its individual identity was lost with the creation of NBC's long-distance coaching arm, National Express. Colin Morris is a highly-regarded and successful commentator on the history and operations of bus operators in southwest England and this new volume will be essential reading for all those interested in the operations of one of the greatest names in the British bus and coach industry. By Colin Morris Hardback Book. 184 x 240mm. 96 pages 50 colour and 70 mono illustrations |
