Newport Bus

With a wealth of previously unpublished images, Simon Ingham celebrates the changing face of Newport Bus.

Newport Bus, the operating name of Newport Transport Limited, is the main provider of bus services in the city of Newport. It is one of a few remaining municipal bus companies in the United Kingdom, the smaller of just two still in existence in Wales. Newport has gone through a period of great change since the turn of the millennium and so has its buses. The traditional green and cream livery has been replaced by an overall green livery and diesel buses have been largely replaced by electric, zero-emission equivalents.

With a wealth of fascinating images, Simon Ingham documents the changing face of Newport Bus as it approaches 125 years since the formation of ‘Newport Corporation’ as a municipal bus operator.
