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.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57565858595198,"sku":"NW9781445699486","price":13.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781445699486.jpg?v=1783295662","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/buses-in-greater-manchester-in-1990s","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
