COUNTRY BUS

There was a time, a simpler time, a quieter time, when the village bus played a significant role in the life of our villages and countryside, taking people to town and market. A time before the proliferation of the private car, a time when farming and agriculture were still major employers, a time before the appearance of even single channel television, when an evening trip to the cinema was still a favoured entertainment. The village bus was part of this country way of life, part of the community, and most often a small business with but a few vehicles and based in one of the villages served... A nostalgic and historical site about country buses - many in the county of Dorset, including the famed Bere Regis District. Plus a look at some other independent operations. Also takes a look at the Faroe Islands, Skye and parts of Normandie.
