The Bus Groups

Michael R. Bonavia

Chapter 9 in The Nationalisation of British Transport, 1987, pp 89-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Commission’s interest and involvement in the road passenger industry outside London was based first, upon the bus company shares acquired along with the main line railways, and also upon the Balfour Beatty group (partly trolley-bus undertakings) which the nationalisation of electricity had picked up quite incidentally, and which was quickly transferred to the BTC. Next came the negotiated purchase of the large Tilling and Scottish Motor Traction interests, and also the Red and White Group. Lastly, there was the obligation to prepare area schemes for the Minister’s approval.
