Details: National Travel London (later just National London) was one of several regional NBC (National Bus Company) subsidiaries that only operated coaches, in this case from a garage in Catford. Control of the company was passed to LCBS (London Country Bus Services) in May 1984, and this resulted in the appearance of National London fleetnames on at least one LCBS service vehicle (43F). The coach fleet was gradually reduced by transfers to LCBS and (from September 1986) the four new regional companies. The end came in February 1987 when the remains of the fleet were taken over by Kentishbus (formerly London Country South East). The only service vehicle known to have originated with National London is this Ford D-series tow truck registered DGP364H. When it was photographed at the Kentishbus garage in Swanley in January 1988, it still retained National London lettering but had gained Kentishbus fleetnumber 931. It was later re-registered Q981JKO and was probably withdrawn in the early 1990s.
