The Crosville bus company started bus operations in Liverpool in 1922 and by the end of the decade was the leading operator across the Wirral and into Lancashire, Cheshire and North Wales. Crosville buses were an everyday sight in Merseyside until its Liverpool depot closed in early 1987 following deregulation of the bus industry in October 1986.
Richard Lloyd Jones charts the fortunes of Crosville in Liverpool over sixty years, drawing on archive photographs of the company, its depot and vehicles as well as personal accounts of staff and their families.
Richard Lloyd Jones has worked in the bus industry for over thirty-six years, starting with Crosville Cymru/Wales. In his present role he works in policy but has always had a keen interest in the history of the bus industry in the UK, and especially Crosville Motor Services Ltd. He is also the owner of a preserved Crosville coach which was based with Crosville in Liverpool and then Amlwch.
