It was rather sad when Yelloway was sold to a second-hand bus dealer who was trying to get riches from the potential seam of gold that was unearthed when bus services around the U.K were deregulated in the Eighties. All the smart fine AEC and Leyland coaches were quickly sold off and replaced with ex-dealer stock. At the same time the good name of Yelloway and it's proud rising sun motif was taken to run a low budget bus service in the Manchester area. However this was not totally unappropriate because at one time it had run double-deck service buses too from it's Rochdale base. Two former London Transport Daimler Fleetline DMS class buses are pictures here in the city centre.
