Scottish Buses During Deregulation: Another View

By Peter Morgan

The deregulation of the bus industry in Scotland in 1986 was a watershed moment for the transport sector. This landmark policy shift, which removed the government's monopoly on bus services, has been the subject of much debate and analysis. However, most accounts have focused on the experiences of the major bus companies and their shareholders.

In his groundbreaking book, Scottish Buses During Deregulation: Another View, author Peter Morgan challenges conventional wisdom and provides a much-needed alternative perspective. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with industry experts, Morgan uncovers the hidden impact of deregulation on the lives of ordinary people, particularly those living in rural and disadvantaged communities.

Combining historical analysis, detailed case studies, and insightful commentary, Scottish Buses During Deregulation: Another View offers a comprehensive and nuanced examination of this pivotal event. Morgan explores the following key themes:

• The impact of deregulation on rural bus services: Morgan argues that deregulation has led to a decline in the quality and availability of bus services in rural areas, leaving many communities isolated and cut off from essential services.
• The impact of deregulation on employment: Morgan shows that deregulation has led to a decrease in the number of bus drivers and other staff, as well as a decline in wages and working conditions.
• The impact of deregulation on competition: Morgan argues that deregulation has not led to increased competition, but rather to the creation of monopolies and duopolies in many areas.
• The impact of deregulation on the environment: Morgan shows that deregulation has led to an increase in bus mileage, as well as a decrease in the use of more environmentally friendly vehicles.

Scottish Buses During Deregulation: Another View is a timely and important contribution to the literature on transport policy. Morgan's meticulous research and thought-provoking analysis make this book essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of the transport sector.
