Individual bus histories
Note: these histories are in process of collection,
with fragments of information added from a variety of sources.
Any additional information is very welcome.
I am grateful to Richard Cains for supplying several (very useful) heaps of 1970s-1990s data,
and for sorting out some of the knots in the post-LT ownership tangles.
Further tangles have been sorted using data kindly supplied by Peter Terry and Claire Green.
