The West Yorkshire Road Car Company’s routes from Skipton and Ilkley up into Wharfedale, Wensleydale and Swaledale are some of the most scenic in Great Britain, and they are captured in this volume of historic bus photographs, taken from the 1950s to the 1970s by some of the finest photographers in their field. Using his first-hand knowledge of West Yorkshire’s network, Stuart Emmett takes the reader on a journey in Upper Wharfedale, passing by countless sheep farms along the grass-patched limestone river valleys as he goes from hamlets and small villages like Grassington to market towns like Skipton and Otley, and the spa town of Ilkley. The enduring Yorkshire landscape, which has been used for many films and TV programs, such as Calendar Girls, All Creatures Great and Small and Emmerdale, complements the little-changed street scenes and villages to give a fascinating backdrop to this captivating collection of more than 170 photographs, many of which are previously unpublished or have rarely been seen in print.

This book explores and explains the critical link between Inventory and Supply Chain Management - a critical component of all Supply Chains. The style of the book is direct, with little jargon. It covers all the basics, as well as providing detailed and wider discussions to encourage thought. Practical application remains a central theme, illustrated by the extensive use of case studies, application checklists and visual and graphic illustrations

This Quick Guide, the second in the series, covers our perspective on a Systems View of the Supply Chain, just one subset of Supply Chain philosophy. It is our belief that using a systems view to examine and improve supply chains does actually reveal all of the key aspects that must be continually considered. This includes highlighting those “danger” aspects in supply chains that arguably can only be seen when taking a systems perspective. Whilst a systems view therefore essentially aims to stop making knee jerk and narrow view reactions, it can only do this when it systems views have been internalised and become the normal way “we do things around here”. In summary, with supply chains, it seems to us that managing a dependent process in isolation and managing it independently is plain folly. To prevent this, a systems approach is one approach which can be used to see the joined up supply chains collaborate with joined up thinking.

The splendid city of York lies on flat, arable land called the Vale of York. Once out of the city and into the Vale of York, many beautiful small country villages are hidden away in the flat, fertile, agricultural land that dominates the area, and farms line the roads. Bus operators were needed to provide services linking these local villages and towns with York, especially on market days. Consequently, routes were very rural, and besides catering for the traditional market day shoppers, they often carried a considerable volume of passengers to work in York. This book, containing over 150 photographs, many in color, tells the story of stage bus companies, including Everingham Brothers, Baileys, J. Broadbent, Milburn and Gorwood Brothers, who operated from the east of York. All of these companies had similarities, and, like many rural bus services, they started by running a service to their nearest market town. This was often done to get a second income to supplement their main living, which usually came from farming and agriculture. As time progressed, most of the operators grew their bus network and offered excursions and private hires. However, changes to the way of life in the 1950s and 1960s, including the growth of television and car ownership, led to the demise of many true country bus operators, including all of those featured in this book.

The city of York stands at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss on flat arable land called the Vale of York, which is bordered to the west by the Pennines, to the northeast by the North York Moors and to the east by the rolling Yorkshire Wolds. Outside the city are many beautiful small country villages and bus operators were needed to provide services linking these local villages and towns with York, especially on market days. Consequently, routes were very rural, and besides catering for the traditional market day shoppers, they often carried a considerable volume of passengers to work in York. This book, the follow-on to York Eastern Stage Bus Operators, tells the story of stage bus companies, including Hopes Motor Services, Hutchinson Brothers, Reliance Motor Services, G E Sykes & Son and Majestic of Cawood, who operated from the west of York. Including over 150 photographs, many in color, it shows how most of the companies covered started out as family-based operators running a service to the nearest local market town before expanding to offer excursions and private hires. It also shows how changes to the way of life, including the growth of car ownership, eventually killed off the majority of them.
