The company rapidly expanded, with particular growth coming from serving the many military establishments on Salisbury Plain. Meanwhile another bus company, Hants & Dorset, established in 1916, was also growing rapidly from its Bournemouth base.
In 1965 the two companies, by then both state owned, were merged and in 1972 the Wilts & Dorset name disappeared when the operation was subsumed into Hants & Dorset. However, Wilts & Dorset was reborn in 1983 when Hants & Dorset was broken up in preparation for privatisation. Now based in Poole and owned by the Go-Ahead Group, Wilts & Dorset runs an extensive network of routes in Dorset, Wiltshire and South West Hampshire. | |
