History
Damory was established originally by Vic Kimber in the early 1970s in Blandford, where it is still based. It took over the rural bus routes of the Blandford Bus Company, Oakfield Travel and Stanbridge & Crichel Bus Company. Subsequently it became part of the Go-Ahead Group in 2003 and immediately became an operating subsidiary of Wilts & Dorset. After Go-Ahead bought Southern Vectis and Solent Blue Line in late 2005, Damory (along with Wilts & Dorset), was put in the new Go South Coast division.
