The fascinating story of Stagecoach's expansion beyond Scotland. With rare, previously unseen photographs.
Keen to quickly expand during the 1980s, Stagecoach purchased three former National Bus Company subsidiaries during its sell-off in 1986/7 to give it a foothold in the English bus market. Finding this move to be successful, the company then set about a further expansion programme with the purchase of twenty-six more major, and several independent, companies to become Britain’s largest bus operator and followed this with the acquisition of a number of Welsh companies.
Looking further afield, Stagecoach then purchased some bus companies in Malawi, Kenya, Hong Kong and New Zealand to become a global operator. This book covers all of these activities and is an evocative look at the first twenty years of Stagecoach beyond Scotland.
