Crosville took over Maxways in 1934 and the Regals entered their fleet. They were re-bodied by ECW in 1939 - more to do with giving them a new lease of life as wartime service buses (seating up from 32 to 39) than the quality of Massey Brothers' workmanship.....
It's great that images like this turn up - I have a couple of images of AEC deckers being built in Liverpool Corporation's bodyshop - fortunately someone spotted them when they were thrown out, and rescued them from the fire.
Thank you Rev David for your info above. Are there any images of the
Maxway/Crosville AECs after re-bodying by ECW ?. Also, any pictures
of AEC Deckers being built in Liverpool. I remember the Daimler buses
of Liverpool Corporation, bodied by Northern Counties of Wigan in the
late 1940s. Regards, Ray Smyth.
