Product Description
Synopsis
Established in 1908 as the Maidstone, Chatham, Gravesend & District Omnibus Services (sic), the name was changed quickly (in 1911) to Maidstone & District. Although much of the network in northwest Kent was transferred to the LPTB on the latter's creation in 1933, Maidstone & District's operational area expanded to include numerous other operators, including the trolleybuses of Hastings & District. Like Northern General, Maidstone & District was another subsidiary of BET that passed to the National Bus Company and is another of the great names of the British bus industry that has effectively disappeared as a result of the corporate strategies of the major post-privatisation groups. As with other volumes in the 'Glory Days' series, the book will include c15,000 of text alongside c50 colour and c70 mono illustrations. The emphasis of the book's content will be towards the era prior to the creation of NBC in the late 1960s.
