In the run up to deregulation, London Country Bus Services was split into four operating companies - North East, South East, South West and North West. For a while, there was little change other than minimal changes to fleetnames and livery. Today, little remains of the London Country empire.
The following pictures were taken in the late 1980s.
| Leyland National KPG 238N heads through Loughton en-route to Harlow on limited stop service 502 on 24 July 1986 |
| Leyland Olympian/ECW LRC2 waits in Buckingham Palace Road with Green Line 720 to Gravesend on 26 July 1986 |
| London Country South East's AN68 fleetname matches the vehicle type - this is a Park Royal bodied Leyland Atlantean AN68 from the first batch ordered by London Country. The bus is seen on 26 October 1986 - deregulation day - at Marden, Kent working a railway emergency service. |
