Midland General, Notts & Derby and Mansfield District, as they are more familiarly known, formed a single group of companies called the
Midland General Group which was owned by Balfour Beatty & Co. Ltd. From the early 1900s the ‘Group’ provided the main means of transportation for the people of the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Coalfield; the largest coalfield in Britain. This website charts the development of tramways, trolleybuses and buses provided by the main constituent companies within the group up until, as part of the National Bus Company, Midland General was merged with the Trent Motor Traction Co. Ltd. in 1972; when Midland General ceased to be, with all stock, buildings and staff being transferred to Trent. At that same time, Mansfield District was merged with East Midland Motor Services Ltd. |
