Black Prince Buses
Black Prince Buses〔(Companies House extract company no 3468144 ) Morley & District formerly Black Prince Buses Limited〕 was a bus company based in Morley, West Yorkshire. Founded in 1969 as a coach firm, it expanded into local bus operation following deregulation in 1986. Black Prince was taken over by FirstGroup in July 2005.
==History==
Black Prince was founded as a coach hire firm 1969 by Brian Crowther, a former employee of British Rail.〔(Farewell to the prince of buses ) ''Morley Observer & Advertiser'' 19 February 2008〕 Its name was inspired by Edward, the Black Prince, a statue of whom stands in the centre of Leeds.
In 1986, deregulation introduced on-road competition local bus service operation. Black Prince moved into scheduled service operation, launching a number of routes centred on Morley in competition with Yorkshire Rider. A variety of second-hand vehicles were acquired to operate the routes, and a livery of red and yellow introduced.〔
By 2004, Black Prince operated a fleet of 40 vehicles on a network of routes around Leeds, with an annual turnover of almost £3 million. Many of its routes competed with Yorkshire Rider's successor First Leeds.〔(Anticipated acquisition by First West Yorkshire Limited of Black Prince Buses Limited ) Office of Fair Trading〕
