Bus Wars (Facing South, 1987)

Facing South documentary on the bus wars in Southern England & the Isle of Wight. Produced by TVS. The documentary highlights the competition between Southampton City Bus and Solent Blue Line, Southern Vectis and Gange's Minicoaches on the Isle of Wight, and other bus operators in the south after deregulation and privatisation of the National Bus Company.

I've also made a shorter cut of just the Isle of Wight bits here:    • Bus Wars: Isle of Wight (1987)
