One result was that the railways were in future to refrain from taking a controlling interest in bus undertakings. This led the companies to enter into partnerships with the bus companies, including the National. In 1929 the London and North Eastern Railway, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the National formed Eastern National Omnibus Company, to which all three shareholders transferred their bus operations in Essex, <a href="/wiki/Hertfordshire" title="Hertfordshire">Hertfordshire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Buckinghamshire" title="Buckinghamshire">Buckinghamshire</a>, Bedfordshire and <a href="/wiki/Huntingdonshire" title="Huntingdonshire">Huntingdonshire</a>. </p><p>In 1931, a controlling interest in the National Omnibus was acquired by the <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Tilling" class="mw-redirect" title="Thomas Tilling">Tilling Group</a>. From then on Eastern National was run as a Tilling company, although the railways retained their shares until 1948. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Nationalisation">Nationalisation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Eastern_National_Omnibus_Company&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Nationalisation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1948, the railways were nationalised and, shortly after, the Tilling Group sold its bus interests to the government.
