Buses in Northern England

This collection features images of buses taken throughout most of Northern England although it mainly concentrates on the historic counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Other places, however, are included such as New Brighton, Birkenhead, Warrington during the time of the bus war in 1995, Hartlepool, Bishop Auckland, Barrow-in-Furness, Workington, Carlisle and Middlesbrough.There are images taken from a wide area from Chester to Hull and from Sheffield to Carlisle, taking in some now-vanished operators such as Halifax Joint Committee, Northern Blue and Black Prince, as well as other operators that have been rebranded by the large groups such as GM Buses North, Mainline in Sheffield, Yorkshire Rider and West Yorkshire.

There is great variety in this book including some familiar but long-vanished buses such as East Yorkshire’s Routemasters and Bristol VRTs, Warrington’s Atlanteans and Dominators and Yorkshire Rider’s Metrobuses and Atlanteans.
