Ribble Motor Services was one of the great names in British road passenger transport. From its inception in 1919 it grew quickly and soon dominated bus services through much of northwest England, as well as being known nationwide for its express coach services, until taken over by the National Bus Company at the end of the 1960s. In Glory Ribble Roger Davies draws on a mixture of official records and personal recollections to tell the fascinating story of this much loved company which was a household name to many and and affectionately known as the "Ribble family" to those who were proud to work for it
