A great snapshot of history. Tyne & Wear PTE was deregulated in 1986. This, a few years later, was where Busways had bought out Tyne & Wear Omnibus Company (TWOC) and Blue Bus Services. "Welcome" had a go at competing with Busways, with their duplicated routes of the Busways 12 (Welcome 120) and 40 (Welcome 400).
Love the 80s and early 90s video's.

I was 15 yo this year and I can almost remember the smell of the Eldon bus station!
