This is the first book ever on this particular model and only the second book on this Northern Ireland company. Compiled with the full cooperation of the company and endorsed by two leading bus industry directors. The vast majority of images contained are previously unpublished. Some of the first hydrogen powered buses included.
The origins of Wrightbus can be traced back to just after the Second World War in 1946 when the company was founded as Robert Wright & Son Coachbuilders in Ballymena Northern Ireland. Robert was joined by daughter Muriel, and son William. Robert Wright died in 1972/. In 2017 William was awarded a Knighthood in the Queen's New Year's Honours

Manufactured from the end of 2014, the integral constructed StreetDeck is built in both single and double-deck variations, the vast majority in the latter. At the time of writing the workforce stud at 770, but by the end 2022 that figure will be nearer one thousand. In 2021 70% of production was diesel powered, but in 2022 only 30% will be diesel, with the other 70% zero emissions.

David Barrow is a freelance journalist and author. His previous books include Scania double-deck buses and East Lancashire Coachbuilders. He has contributed over the past thirty-five years to BUSES, Bus Business, Bus and Coach Buyer, Coachmart, Coach and Bus Week, Bus Fayre, Bus Review, Route One and Buses Annual and Yearbook. Covering a variety of bus related subjects, both here in the UK, as well as Europe, Hong Kong, and the USA.
