 This 116 page bookazine commemorates 30 years since Britain's buses beyond London were deregulated and most public sector operators began to be privatised. In words and colour pictures, it outlines how bus services were provided before October 1986 and how they were changed, with new operators encouraged to compete with the existing ones, resulting in 'bus wars' on the streets of many cities and towns. It focuses on some of the parts of the country where these changes had a big effect, looks at who bought the state-owned and local authority bus companies and at the role played by independent businesses. It also looks at the tools of deregulation — the different types of vehicles bought new and secondhand to take the bus industry through these first years of radical change.

FEATURING:

The National Bus Company - what it was and who bought its regional companies

The municipal bus fleets - why so many of them have disappeared

How deregulation affected Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Yorkshire

Rapid and radical changes in Scotland and Wales

Routemasters, minibuses and Leyland Nationals - the tools of deregulation

Kent and East Sussex - deregulation and privatisation in shire counties

The colours of deregulation - how liveries characterised the changes

And much more!
