Neville Mercer takes an in-depth look at the histories of 32 independent bus operators in the five traditional counties of Anglesey, Caernarvonshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, and Merionethshire. In Anglesey and Merioneth the advance of Crosville had all but eliminated independent stage carriage services by the end of the Second World War, but in the other three counties important operators survived until deregulation and beyond. They include Caelloi Motors, Clynnog & Trevor, Express Motors, Purple Motors, and Silver Star in Caernarvonshire; Bryn Melyn, the Llandudno & Colwyn Bay Electric Railway, and Wright of Penycae in Denbighshire; and Phillips of Holywell and Fisher of Bronington in Denbighshire, as well as many more modest enterprises - some of them all but forgotten. The book also includes the post-deregulation history of the surviving operators and takes a look at the humble beginnings of important present-day enterprises such as GHA and Tanat Valley. 160 pages with 174 photos, 34 in colour.
