The British Transport Commission Group

This fascinating and informative book looks at the Tilling Group of bus companies during the 1960s.

These operated approximately half of the inter-urban and rural bus services in England and Wales, and were nationalised by Clement Attlee's Labour Government in 1948 under the control of the British Transport Commission.

Ownership passed to the Transport Holding Company Ltd in 1963, though the fleets remained under Tilling Group control.

During the period covered by this book, the operators within the group had very standardised fleets, with the vast majority of their buses and coaches having Bristol chassis and Eastern Coachworks (ECW) bodywork.
