One lesser known tact about Chester City Transport is that it was the only British municipal that operated services in two home nations. That is because Chester, on a western extremity of Cheshire, lies just east of England's border with Wales, and part of the dormitory village of Saltney, which the corporation's buses began serving in 1932, is over the border in Flintshire. While Chester absorbed similar communities in Cheshire, politicians recognised that England's annexation of this small piece of Wales would have ignited passions best left dormant. It was easier for Chester's buses to continue to cross the historic border. |
