About this product

Product Information

Since the late 1920s Yorkshire has played a major role in the sale of second-hand buses and coaches, as well as their ultimate end-of-life destruction. For many years, one of the UK's largest used bus dealers, who during its long and proud history purchased more than 1,500 redundant buses from London Transport in a single transaction, was located in Leeds, where several other smaller but similar concerns were also active. Since the early 1960s Yorkshire has become the main UK hub for bus and coach dismantling, particularly in the Barnsley and Rotherham area due to its close proximity to the heavy metals market. Within this book, the area's dealing and scrap industries are both covered in depth through text and photographs to illustrate the importance of their past and present activities in these fields.

  • An interesting subject, tackled well.

    The author has done well to disentangle the story of the Yorkshire Bus Breakers in all their different entities. Add to that some excellent, if sad, photos of buses that have reached the end of their lives and, for anyone interested in this admittedly niche interest, it makes compelling reading. Excellent!

  • Bus dealers and breakers of Yorkshire

    Very interesting read for bus enthusiasts but not so good if you want to see him broken up

    Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

  • an in-depth view of the last journey made by buses

    It is lavishly illustrated with colour photos and informative text - a must for any bus enthusiast's bookshelf!
