Buses of North Staffordshire

Buses of North Staffordshire have a long history, with PMT, First, and smaller rural operators providing schools services and works contracts. Some operators are well-known, while others are less familiar and short-lived. Traditional independents have gone, but new operators and ideas are emerging to cope with the ever-changing demands of a shrinking market.

When the words "Buses of North Staffordshire" are mentioned, most people will immediately think of PMT, and later First, running through the urban areas of Stoke-on-Trent, with additional vehicles from a few medium-sized family-owned operators thrown in for good measure. Our journey, spanning the last fifty-or-so years, will also feature the vehicles of the many smaller rural operators. Schools services and works contracts have always been an important part of the bus scene, and many of the vehicles featured will have been used for providing such services. Some of the operators featured are well-known names, with lengthy histories, others will be less familiar, and in some cases, short-lived too. The traditional independents, such as Berresfords, Stevensons, and Turners, have all gone now, but in their place are new operators, new ideas, and still a wealth of interesting vehicles to cope with the ever-changing demands of a still shrinking market.
