Go-Ahead began life as the Gateshead-based Go-Ahead Northern bus
company after the privatisation of the National Bus Company in
1987. Early expansion saw the acquisition of a number of smaller
bus operators in the North East. During the 1990s, it entered
London, where it rapidly became the largest provider of bus
services in the UK capital. It has subsequently acquired operations
across England. Rail privatisation has presented another
opportunity for the group and it currently operates Govia
Thameslink Railway, comprising Thameslink, Southern and Great
Northern as well as South Eastern. More recently, it has
established an overseas presence and runs buses in Singapore and
Dublin along with rail services in Germany and Norway. All of these
are franchised operations. The Group continues to believe that
public transport is best managed locally and its operating
companies all retain local management and identities. Illustrated
with over 150 colour illustrations, this book looks at its first 25
years in detail with a brief update of developments since then.
