In early 1993, I was asked to try and locate the many and varied disposals of all the vehicles that had ever been operated by London Country Bus Services between its formation as part of the National Bus Company in 1970, and its split upon deregulation in 1986. Of course after 1986 many of the then serving vehicles were transferred to one of the new (four) independent companies, largely dictated by where the vehicle happened to be at the time.

The difficulty arose in trying to track the disposals of the many vehicles that were inherited from London Transport in January 1970 when L.C.B.S. was formed. From consulting numerous fleet books, notes etc, it is apparent that many were scrapped, and there are numerous disposals that seem never to have been accounted for.

This list was as near 100% complete as I could make it (in 1993), but obviously requires updating. If anyone has the time, inclination and patience ever to bring this list up to date, then the lists that follow will act as a marvellous starting point. Alas, that "anyone" will probably not be me...!
