Bus companies in London in mid sixties
« on: Saturday 04 February 23 16:35 GMT (UK) »
 Trying to determine what bus company/companies operated in the Kilburn/ cricklewood area of London in the mid sixties.  Hoping to trace an Irish relative who worked "on the buses" around that time.

London Transport would probably have covered that area.

If they appear on any BMD certificates in that time then their occupation will be shown, which might help you.

Hello oldRV. London Transport is certainly your best bet, but as a child in the sixties I do remember Green Line buses operating in parts of London.

There is an earlier map of their routes here.  https://transitmap.net/green-line-coaches-london-1949/
