Although Coventry Corporation had been running a tram service since the 1880s, the Corporation's first bus services did not come into operation until 1914. The outbreak of the First World War that September, however, meant that the bus chassis were requisitioned by the War Office for Army use. When the war came to an end, new buses were ordered and the service resumed in 1919. Bus services expanded during the interwar years, while from the 1930s tram services contracted. The death knell for the city's trams came with the air raid of November 1940, which destroyed the infrastructure they required. After the Second World War, new Daimler buses began to arrive in the city to replace the Austerity and producer gas vehicles run during the war years, and those provided by other operators to cover the gaps in service created by the loss of the trams. Some Maudslays and other models notwithstanding, the core of the Coventry fleet remained Daimlers right through until Coventry Corporation Transport was absorbed into the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive on 1 April 1974.
