Yorkshire Traction was a bus operator in Yorkshire that operated from 1902 until 2005.
History
In March 1902 the Barnsley & District Electric Traction Company Limited was formed. It operated trams around the Barnsley area until around 1930. In 1928, prior to the trams being withdrawn, the company was renamed from the Barnsley & District Traction Company Limited (the 'electric' part of the name being dropped some years earlier). The company was affectionately referred to as 'Tracky'.
In October 1968, Yorkshire Traction purchased Mexborough & Swinton Traction Company and County Motors.
As part of the privatisation of the National Bus Company, Yorkshire Transit was sold in January 1987 to a management buyout. The business subsequently expanded through purchasing other operators including:

Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər/ or /ˈjɔːrkʃɪər/) is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.
Within the borders of the historic county of Yorkshire are areas which are widely considered to be among the greenest in England, due to the vast stretches of unspoiled countryside in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors and to the open aspect of some of the major cities. Yorkshire has sometimes been nicknamed "God's Own County" or "God's Own Country".
In the redistribution which took effect for the 1868 general election the two divisions were redistributed into three. Eastern West Riding of Yorkshire was created and the Northern and Southern divisions modified. Each of the three divisions returned two members.

This DVD celebrates more than 100 years of Tracky, with a look at its modern day operations in Barnsley, Rotherham, Huddersfield and Doncaster, as well as now classic scenes from 1998 showing National 2's at work and some previously unseen cine film footage from the 80s.
Filmed with the full cooperation of Yorkshire Traction, and with last December's take-over of Tracky by Stagecoach, this is a unique celebration of this much-loved operator.
