Author : Stuart Emmett ISBN : 9781840339970 Cover : paperback Price : £12.95
United Services operated in the former mining towns of Fitzwilliam, Hemsworth, South Kirkby, and South Elmsall, as well as the area south of these towards Doncaster. As the name suggests, the company grew from various experienced operators coming together to run as a group in 1926. As time went by, shares were sold and the ownership shifted until 1977, when United was sold to West Yorkshire PTE, continuing for a while as a separate subsidiary. The book is the usual Stuart Emmett mix of period photographs and detail on routes and operations. A list of the Stage Bus Fleet from 1947 onwards is also included.
