Northampton, the county town of Northamptonshire, is rich in
transport history. 1880 saw several tram routes commence operation
within the Northampton Borough, being operated by the Northampton
Street Tramway Company. After this, public transport in the town
began to develop. The tram network being electrified in 1901\. The
1910s saw a number of independent bus operators begin to link
Northampton with the surrounding villages, introducing motor bus
operation into the town. Over the years, Northampton has been home
to numerous independent bus and coach operators. Two major
operators also served the town, Northampton Corporation Transport
(later Northampton Transport and First Northampton) and United
Counties / Stagecoach Midlands. Northampton's Trams and Buses
explores the development of the tram network within Northampton, as
well as exploring how bus services in the Northampton, Wootton,
Hardingstone and Moulton areas of Northamptonshire have developed
from the early 1900s to 2021.
