Bury Corporation Transport was a pioneering bus operator, boasting a fleet of over ninety buses, primarily manufactured by Daimler and Leyland. The company was a trailblazer in many ways, being one of the first operators of diesel-powered buses, the sole Lancashire municipal operator of three-axle double-deckers, and the first to introduce new Leyland buses after the Second World War. The company's livery initially consisted of red and cream until 1942, when it transitioned to green and primrose. In 1969, Bury Corporation Transport was absorbed into SELNEC, which later became Greater Manchester Transport. This book is a magnificent tribute to a much-loved operator, packed with rare and previously unpublished images that capture the essence of its era.
