Robert Appleton's superb images stretch back to 1970, featuring the
buses of the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company Ltd and the Eastern
National Omnibus Company Ltd. Both were Tilling companies that had
become part of the National Bus Company. Eastern Counties had an
extensive network of services radiating from Ipswich in Suffolk,
supported by a number of outstations. Eastern National did not have
the same need for outstations, but there were small depots such as
Harwich in the north-east corner of Essex. The National Bus Company
years saw the gradual elimination of crew operation and the
development of new express services - Eastline by Eastern Counties
and Highwayman by Eastern National. Eastern Counties was split up
in 1984 with the Cambridgeshire operations passing to Cambus, and
the coaching operations to Ambassador Travel. After deregulation
and privatisation, Eastern Counties became part of GRT Bus Group,
and Eastern National became part of the Badgerline Group. In 1995
the GRT Bus Group and Badgerline merged to form First Bus, bringing
Eastern Counties and Eastern National back in to common ownership.
With a stunning collection of images, nearly all previously
unpublished, East Anglian Buses shows all of these changes, as well
as the municipal operations in Colchester, Ipswich and Great
Yarmouth, as well as several independents that ran stage
carriage/local bus services.
