I wonder if Merseybus were deliberately running ex-LT buses in London red because red was the livery of at least one of their major competitors (CMT, operator of the National in the middle)?
Definitely an "interesting" period, but a definitive history would make that huge 'history of the NBC' volume look like a paperback book! I suspect that unfortunately much of the detailed knowledge of the period, especially of the 'whys and wherefores' (rather than the dry lists of what happened), has been lost by now.
Yes Ross you are right the Titan is another of the many they bought off London. I think I'm rather glad nobody has tried to turn it into a book for except for the photos it might be a boring read, still I'm sure if it were Ray Stenning he would fill it with little maps and graphs. On the other hand I imagine everyone who went through it must have at least one good story
