Muddle and Get Nowhere – Eastern Counties 1970

A new book by authors Ben Colson, Keith Shayshutt and Robin Bennett about the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company in 1970. Softback, A4, in colour and 348 pages. The book looks at a snapshot in time in May 1970 and replicates all of the Company’s timetables with added detail showing which depot or outstation operated each journey together with car line numbers. Car workings for each of the 600+ peak vehicles operating from 15 depots and 64 outstations are also shown in fascinating detail. Other chapters include the fleet profile, properties, route costing, contracts, coaching and route maps. It is also well endowed with photographs from the 1970 era.
