Warrington Corporation Transport Department : route map : in Warrington Official Handbook , c1960
From an undated but c1960 official guide to the County Borough of Warrington, then in Lancashire, comes a fold out map and guide to services fronted by a single page advert.
The municipal operation had, like most others, begun with tramway operation, in Warrington's case in 1902 with the trams withdrawn and wholly replaced by buses by 1935. The operation survived the 1985 deregulation and is, indeed, still a municipally owned company trading as "Warrington's Own Buses".
The route network was mostly within the Borough boundary but in common with most other Lancashire municipalities a number of joint routes, involving other operators, existed although the map does not necessarily make this clear! The diagram is unusually described as a 'skeleton map' showing the main outlines of the routes as well as rhe River Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal that bisect the borough. It also gives a list of services operated.
