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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445699486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Howard Wilde","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38017482752181,"sku":"9781445699486","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b6b7675e-ce80-4a2b-a54c-155b695e2111.jpg?v=1609164997","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/buses-in-greater-manchester-in-the-1990s-9781445699486","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
