Description
Route Branding and Special Liveries on British Buses By Richard Walter The deregulation of bus services in 1986 led to a significant change in the UK's public transport landscape. Many distinctive local liveries disappeared, but some operators continued to showcase their identities through bold colour schemes and route branding. This book explores some of these ambitious and innovative styles, highlighting how they have evolved over time. From the big five bus companies - First, Stagecoach, Arriva, Go-Ahead and National Express - to smaller operators, Richard Walter takes a journey across the UK to showcase a range of local identities and retro liveries. He examines how these designs have been introduced to entice more people to use their local public transport. With over 96 pages of detailed information and photographs, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of British bus liveries.
