Crosville: A National Bus Company
During the 1970s, the state-owned National Bus Company played a pivotal role in England and Wales, with Crosville Motor Services standing out as one of its largest constituent bus companies among thirty-six.
Beyond the initial semblance to other former BET companies within the NBC, Crosville distinguished itself with a vast operating area, spanning from the hills above Macclesfield to Biddulph in Staffordshire, rural Shropshire at Oswestry, Liverpool's city streets, and extending across North and mid-Wales to West Wales towns like New Quay, Newcastle Emlyn, and Lampeter.
Headquartered in Chester, Crosville's operations were marked by diversity, encompassing rural market routes, open-top holiday services, and intense inter-urban services, including those on innovative busways - a rarity at the time.
Authored by Michael Hitchen, this illustrated book reflects on a time characterized by variety and intrigue, featuring a wealth of captivating and previously unpublished photographs that offer a glimpse into Crosville's rich history.
