Description
Ribble Motor Services is a nostalgic collection of rare and previously unpublished images celebrating the fleet of this iconic and much-loved company. The book takes a journey through the company's history, from its humble beginnings to its rapid expansion in the 1920s and 1930s, and its eventual nationalisation in 1969. The company's fleet grew to over 1,200 buses and coaches, based at 30 garages across a vast operating area, before being acquired by Stagecoach in 1989. This unique collection of images provides a fascinating glimpse into the company's history, and is a must-have for anyone interested in transportation and automotive history. With over 96 pages of rare and previously unpublished images, Ribble Motor Services is a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike.
