Cumberland Motor Services Ltd., official handbook, 1934

Many bus and coach companies issued such handbooks that detailed the areas they served and the services, both stage bus and touring coach, they operated. This is the 1934 edition of the official guide of the Cumberland Motor Services Ltd of Whitehaven. The company was formed in 1921 although it had its origins in the Whitehaven Motor Services that started in business in 1912. As the book notes its primary market was in the bus services that connected the industrial towns and ports of Cumberland's industrialised west coast but it also served the marvellously scenic northern areas of the Lake District. The guide details the various routes operated, the special day tours they ran as well as giving details as to walks and climbs that could be undertaken by using their services.
