The 1980s were some of the most tumultuous years for the British
bus industry. The Thatcher Government, in power throughout the
decade, brought about privatisation of the National Bus Company and
the Scottish Bus Group. In addition, 1986 saw the introduction of
full deregulation of bus services, with the exception of London.
Don't think that London was unaffected by these changes though, as
the omnibus operations of London Transport was split up and then
sold into private hands. Deregulation meant competition and "bus
wars" broke out in many parts of the country, sometimes in the most
unexpected of places. However, towards the end of the decade,
things began to settle down and we were able to witness the
emergence of larger groups, for example Stagecoach. The author was
fortunate enough to be able to capture the scene on colour film,
right through the decade, and the best of his results are seen
within these pages.
