London Country North West〔(Companies House extract company no 2005564 ) London Country Bus (North West) Limited〕 was a bus operator in South East England and London. It was formed from the split of London Country Bus Services in 1986, and operated a fleet of around 360 buses from five garages, with its headquarters located in Garston. ==History== In the run-up to deregulation, London Country Bus Services was broken into four smaller companies on 7 September 1986.〔(Out on its own ) ''Commercial Motor'' 6 December 1986 page 54〕 London Country North West took over 360 buses and garages in Garston, Hemel Hempstead, High Wycombe, Amersham and Slough.〔 On 5 January 1988, LCNW became the first of the four new companies to be privatised when sold in a management buyout.〔(Ampyx Web World - "London Country Bus Services" ) Accessed 4 March 2010.〕〔(London Country - three to go ) ''Commercial Motor'' 12 November 1987 page 32〕〔(Hansard ) House of Commons 18 April 1988〕 In 1989 a new livery of green and grey was introduced.〔(Three Counties Bus and Commercial Vehicle Museum - Vehicle Collection: London Country Leyland National )〕 The two years between 1988 and 1990 proved difficult for the company: in May 1988 it was found guilty by the area Traffic Commissioner of having failed to operate local bus services in accordance with registrations, and banned from registering any new routes for three months.〔 in February 1990 the duration of its operating licence was cut following an inspection in which half of the vehicles examined were found not to be roadworthy.〔〔(Licence curtailment ) ''Commercial Motor'' 8 February 1990 page 29〕 Some new buses, including a number of Leyland Olympians and Dennis Darts, were purchased to help overcome these problems.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「London Country North West」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
