Doncaster Buses in Transition: Before and After Sypte

By: Platt, Keith W.

Explore the history of Doncaster's bus operations and the impact of SYPTE on local transport.

This book delves into the major changes that occurred in Doncaster's bus services after April 1974, following the reorganization of local government in England. Discover how the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) took control of Doncaster Corporation Transport, ending decades of local council management. See how independent bus companies initially retained their unique liveries, providing a colorful contrast to the SYPTE fleet.

Learn about the absorption of bus fleets from Doncaster Corporation Transport, Felix Motors, T Severn & Sons, Blue Line, and Reliance up to 1979. This book is perfect for transport enthusiasts, local history buffs, and anyone interested in the evolution of public transportation in South Yorkshire.
