Once a familiar sight ? 1971
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 23 Apr 1971
The sight of queues of buses to take supporters home from football matches was common in times past. Changes to legislation following the deregulation of services in 1986 made it virtually impossible for operators to provide such services on an ad hoc basis. This was the scene after a match at Ipswich Town F C's Portman Road ground with Ipswich Corporation buses departing to various parts of the town. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
