Lancashire United The Fleet 1900-1981

Lancashire United was one of the two largest privately-owned bus operators in the country. Whilst its subsidiary, South Lancashire Transport, became famous for its veteran fleet of trolleybuses, little has been published about Bangor Blue, Lancashire United's 1920s venture in North Wales. Compiled from a mass of detailed company records, this book is much more than a complete and detailed list of the tram, bus and trolleybus fleets of all three, including vehicles, rebuilds and renumbering not previously known. The lists are enhanced by pictures of almost every batch or type of vehicle, fleet summaries at key dates, the bus services at the start and end of operations, a brief look at tickets, details of operators taken over, plus the story of short-lived Manchester coachbuilder British Commercial.
