Are there more bus services (routes) from the Town Centre than there were in the early
'50s. In those days Melbourne St handled all the Ribble Services, Blackburn started from Union St (?) and all Accrington Services started from Peel St. The only exception I can remember is that all Rossendale services (no matter which bus company, including Accrington Corp) started from the Town Hall. The one location that I haven't a clue about is the Blackburn Tram start point. The system seemed to work well then, and surely the old adage - If it ain't broke, don't fix it - still applies.
