Crosville Diverted 35: The Leyland Tigers 1949-1964

More about the book

Set in the post-World War II era, the narrative delves into the challenges faced by the Crosville Motor Company in Chester as it sought to revive bus and coach services. With a limited supply of new vehicles and a struggling economy, the company aimed to restore both local and long-distance travel, particularly for holidaymakers in the Merseyside and North Wales regions. The introduction of 35 dual-purpose buses in 1949/50 marked a pivotal step in re-establishing vital transport links to popular resorts along the North Wales coast.
