Crosville Diverted 35 - The Leyland Tigers

Crosville Motor Services faced difficulties in re-establishing both stage carriage and private hire bus and coach services in the early years following the second world war. Government intervention redirected 35 Leyland Tiger PS1/1 vehicles (originally ordered by Midland General) to Crosville to assist with their vehicle shortage. They were Leyland's first post-war design, but because of nationalisation which occurred in the transport industry at the time of their delivery they would eventually become non-standard in the Crosville fleet. The political decisions which would be taken enforced changes not only in the organisation of public transport but also in subsequent vehicle design.
