The centenary of the former Crosville Motor Services was commemorated with a special two-day event in the heart of the old company’s operating territory over the Bank Holiday weekend in north-east Wales.

Organised jointly by the Llangollen Railway and the St Helens-based North West Museum of Road Transport, the event took place at Glyndyfyrdwy station. Located conveniently closed to the market town of Corwen, near Llangollen, the event provided an opportunity to recreate bygone eras – the town once being home to an allocation of Crosville vehicles. The event brought together old Crosville favourites, including a Bristol Loddekam, Bristol KWs, and of course Bristol VR and ECW Olympians, an example of which carried Coastliner branding.
