| The Stagecoach Ribble depot at
Bolton. |
| The Game of Bus Monopoly
headed in a new direction recently.
After the sale of all the NBC companies and the construction of hotels and
houses on the lucrative sites, it's time for the big groups to rationalise.
Arriva started the ball rolling in Surrey, and Stagecoach have continued
in Lancashire. The depots at Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley and
Clitheroe have all been sold to Blazefield as of Easter Monday
2001. Featured here are some of the buses and places affected. |
