Synopsis
In the book, the author covers the history of the company from it's creation through to its dismemberment in the mid-1980s, and provides the reader with a comprehensive account of the operator's strengths and weaknesses during these years. In particular, the author examines how the company developed, through schemes such as MAP, its operational strategy at a time when public transport was perceived to be in decline as car traffic was increasing dramatically. Alongside the authors erudite text, the book also includes some 120 colour and mono images that recall both the vehicles and routes operated by London Country during these years.
