Bus Services in Lakeland 1939-1950

The late David Grisenthwaite, the author of this book, was brought up in the Lake District and even when young recorded services and vehicles, a practice he continued throughout his long life, during which he became an expert on operations in the area. He left many manuscripts behind and this has been edited for publication and illustrated, giving a revealing picture of how this rural holiday area was affected by the cuts in services imposed during the war, and also the new factory services which were introduced, and then by the resurgence of travel once hostilities ended. It contains full details of operations during this period of Ribble, Cumberland, and many independents.
