Merseyside Buses 1986-2004 

Since deregulation in 1986, Merseyside has offered a wealth of variety to bus enthusiasts with numerous new independent operators entering the scene, and some soon departing again, while the major companies have gained strength through takeovers and area expansion.The area covered here includes Liverpool, the Wirral, St Helens and Southport, all of which have seen wide changes, particularly in the 1990s, and all are captured with a selection of previously unpublished colour photographs.
