Pride & Joy - 25 Years with Brighton Hove & District

Roger French OBE tells the story of the last twenty-five years of one of the UK's most successful bus companies, Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company. The book explains how the company was recreated out of Southdown in 1985 and the inside story behind its privatisation as a management buy-out two years later, as well as its sale to the Go-Ahead Group in 1993. The book contains a full route history over the last twenty-five years, as well as details of the intake of buses and coaches into the fleet each year. Details of the acquisition of Brighton Buses in 1997 and Stagecoach's Lewes operations in 2005 are also included. 160 pages softback with over 250 colour and black & white photos.
