| | At the beginning of the period of this book, the LGOC was struggling to provide the needed level of bus services, having lost many of its vehicles that had been requisitioned for war service. It was then faced with new competition from a variety of independent bus operators, some with only one or two vehicles, who together presented a big challenge to the mighty “General”. Alongside this, there was a constant battle against the conservative attitudes of the traffic authorities towards bus design which stultified progress. The battle for London's streets that characterised much of the 1920s led to the campaign for unification and the bill that was to lead to the formation of the London Passenger Transport Board.
