• Red and White was started in the wake of the First World War, and became one of the most influential independent bus operators in the country. Its territory stretched from the Cotswolds to mid and West Wales. When the Red and White Group was bought out in 1948 to become part of the State-owned Tilling Group, it marked the end of Albion and guy orders, and the delivery of standard Bristols. But there was still plenty of interest. In the National Bus Company days it was merged with its erstwhile rival, Western Welsh, to become National welsh, but collapsed after privatisation. Bits and pieces have been picked up here and there, but the days of the great Gloucestershire-based bus company are now just a memory [1]
