Description
West Yorkshire Buses in Transition Before and After WYPTE by Keith W. Platt is a detailed look at the transformation of West Yorkshire's bus network following its merger in 1974. The photographs in this book showcase the gradual changes to the livery, as cream and light green gradually replaced the original colours of Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, and Leeds. The Transport Executive was divided into four districts, each with its own unique identity, resulting in a vast operation with over 1,500 vehicles and more than 6,000 staff. By 1976, changes to the livery were underway, with new linings and logos emerging as part of the Metrobus brand. This book provides a fascinating insight into this period of change, highlighting the evolution of West Yorkshire's bus network over just two years.
