Wrexham bus station â 1969

A feature of the bus station was the hand-painted destination boards on the shelters. Bay 6 is occupied by a venerable Bristol LL5G of Crosville Motor Services (No.SLG191) on one of the routes to Moss. Built in 1950, at the age of 19 it was well beyond the average life of a bus in those days. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link
