Super Prestige 11 Ashton & Manchester's Trolleybuses

As 2006 marks the centenary of the commencement of operation of motorbuses by Manchester Corporation Transport Department, and also reflects the fact that it is forty years since the last trolleybus ran in Manchester, Bob Rowe, with assistance from John Senior, has put together this latest volume in the Super Prestige series. Manchester was looking at trolleybuses before the First World War, but it was Ashton-Under-Lyne Corporation which managed to introduce its first. The Greater Manchester area had seen some of the pioneering operation in the north West as this book illustrates. The fascinating struggle in Manchester between the Council and its Transport Committee is fully covered.
