Dist:0.4km<br/>A 1970's view with the travel office still bearing its illuminated London Country shaped badge, but with the green wheel with wings replaced by the National Bus Company (NBC) symbol. The vehicle on the 392 for Welwyn Garden City is RP1, an AEC Reliance with Park Royal bodywork. It is painted in NBC Leaf Green and White dual purpose livery. Originally purchased for the London Country Green Line routes, and still carrying the Green Line name, it entered service in 1971 and was withdrawn in 1981, 2 years after this photo was taken. A History of the RP's can be found at http://www.countrybus.org/RPRC/RP.htm on the Ian's Bus Stop website. A history of London Country and it's Green Line services can be found at http://www.ampyx.org.uk/lcountry/ .

Dist:0.5km<br/>A view from the late 1970's when services were provided by the National Bus Company under its London Country brand. London Country originally was part of London Transport but was separated out from January 1970. It was absorbed into the National Bus company (NBC) in 1972. A history of London Country bus services can be viewed at http://www.ampyx.org.uk/lcountry/ . The double decker, on the 805 for Potter Street, is AN18, a Leyland Atlantean with Park Royal bodywork. It is painted in NBC Leaf Green. It was in service with London Country and their successors from 1972 until May 1988. A history of the AN's is available at http://www.countrybus.org/AFAN/AN.htm#top on the Ian's Bus Stop website.
