Description
Manchester Buses by Paul Williams The first bus service in Manchester dates back to 1824, when a horse-drawn bus began operating. By the late 1960s, the region was home to over 2,000 buses operated by eleven municipal bus operators that eventually merged into SELNEC, the Passenger Transport Executive for Greater Manchester. This book explores Manchester's buses from the 1960s to deregulation in 1986, featuring photographs and material from the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester. For those who remember riding an orange SELNEC bus, this will be a nostalgic journey through time. With its unique blend of transport history and visual archives, Manchester Buses offers a fascinating insight into the evolution of public transportation in the region.
