Re: Accrington buses....all in one place.

The late Robert Rush, whose book 'Accrington's Public Transport 1886-1986' I published in 2000 could find no official confirmation of the choice of livery but was of the opinion that it was linked to the colours of the East Lancs Regt and the memory of the Pals. The buses replaced the corporation's trams in 1928 and it was a surprise that the buses were in a different livery from that of the red and cream trams
