The Transport Holding Company (THC) was a British Government-owned company created by the Transport Act 1962 to administer a range of state-owned transport, travel and engineering companies that were previously managed by the British Transport Commission (BTC); it came into existence on 1 January 1963. ==Assets== The THC's assets were very varied, reflecting its role as the manager of those investments that did not fit elsewhere in the post-1962 structure of nationalised transport. There were essentially six areas of activity: * bus companies, some part-owned with the British Electric Traction Group, later acquired by the THC, * bus manufacturing companies (Bristol Commercial Vehicles and Eastern Coach Works) * road haulage companies, e.g. British Road Services (BRS) and Pickfords * shipping lines, e.g. the BTC's shares in Associated Humber Lines and the Atlantic Steam Navigation Company * travel agents (Thomas Cook and Son, to which Lunn Poly was later added) * miscellaneous (the BTC's shares in the Penarth Dock Engineering Company) 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「Transport Holding Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
