Decades after its dissolution, Western National remains one of the most
recognisable and beloved bus and coach operators in Britain. Covering a
broad area encompassing Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Gloucestershire,
it is a brand that fired the imagination of countless enthusiasts and
served its community admirably. These images, from the camera of former
Western National employee David Letcher, offer a rewarding insight into
Western National's heyday. Published for the first time here in a
selection curated by transport author Stephen Heginbotham, the
photographs offer a richly rewarding and nostalgic tribute to a famous
name.
