{"product_id":"buses-in-greater-manchester-in-the-1990s","title":"Buses in Greater Manchester in the 1990s","description":"Like many of the conurbations across Britain, the Greater Manchester region in the 1990s offered a fascinating mixture of buses from operators both large and small, new and established. 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.\n\nIn 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":"Amberley Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226378981720,"sku":"9781445699486","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781445699486.jpg?v=1778510733","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/buses-in-greater-manchester-in-the-1990s","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
