As Britain entered the 1990s, the character of East London was
changing rapidly. The docks, once the mainstay of the area, had
closed and the London Docklands Development Corporation was
building a vast new financial district on the Isle of Dogs -
Docklands. Further east, the new London City Airport, a university
campus and new housing and shopping developments had arisen in
Beckton. There was massive investment in transport infrastructure
to serve these developments with new rail and bus links. Meanwhile
the effects of deregulation, introduced in 1985, were transforming
bus services, with many new operators bringing a wide variety of
liveries and fleet names in place of the former red monopoly of
London Transport. Then in 1994 came privatisation with the sell-off
of London Transport in area 'slices'. With all this variety, it was
an exciting time to be a bus enthusiast - but it was not to last.
With this, the second of three books featuring the buses of East
London, Malcolm Batten examines the last decade of the twentieth
century through a wealth of previously unpublished images.
