Buses in Greater Manchester in the 1990s, Paperback / softback Book

Buses in Greater Manchester in the 1990s Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Like many of the conurbations across Britain, the Greater Manchester region in the 1990s offered a fascinating mixture of buses from operators both large and small, new and established.

The deregulation of the bus industry that began in October 1986 created a lively if sometimes chaotic environment.

Operators came and went; some were rather spectacular in their demise.

As the 1990s progressed there was gradual consolidation, as increasing areas of operation came under the control of the emerging larger groups - the likes of First, Stagecoach and Arriva. In this book, Howard Wilde reflects on some of the choice moments of this eventful decade, with a wide selection of photographs from Manchester and the numerous surrounding towns to show a period that was fascinating for the enthusiast, if not always beneficial for the passenger.
