Thirteen of the original North Western Road Car Company's vehicles formed the centrepiece of the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester's celebration of the historic company's centenary on April 22/23. North Western lasted 49 years, from April 1923 to March 4,1972, when the National Bus Company (NBC) sold the bulk of the business to Selnec PTE and divided the rest of its bus operations between its Crosville and Trent companies. The coaches passed to National Travel (North West), where the North Western name was incorporated for a time into the then newly introduced white National livery. NBC revived the name when it split Ribble into smaller businesses in 1986. |
