Customer Reviews

Southern National by Colin Morris, a superb study.
An excellent book tracing the history of the company from the days prior to it's inception in 1929, up to and slightly beyond it's amalgamation with sister company Western National in 1969.

There's considerable colour photography, some of quite rare subjects, for example Bristol LS on the 322 at Boscastle, and SU's and K's at Wadebridge and Padstow.

Extensive research into the early days of National, acquired operators, and some excellent maps and graphics make this a superb read.
