Since deregulation in 1986, Merseyside has been a paradise for bus enthusiasts, with a constant influx of new independent operators entering the scene and some departing just as quickly. Meanwhile, the major companies have strengthened their positions through takeovers and area expansion. The area covered here includes Liverpool, the Wirral, St Helens, and Southport, all of which have undergone significant changes, particularly in the 1990s.
