In the years since 1945 which form the principle period reviewed, there has been a growth in industry in the areas which were largely agricultural and residential and this has changed the tenor of some operations. The post-war boom in bus traffic was almost universal but first the south-east and then the east began to feel traffic recession since they include counties which have high car ownership percentages. One-man operation spread rapidly as a practice, a trend which included the local-authority undertakings.* A NEAR FINE copy with minor faults.*
