May 2026 Review Number 701
The next Review is due to be posted out at the end of the week around 22nd May and hopefully will be with members at the beginning of the following week
As usual there is news from around the former Crosville territory and regular features of Reviews Revisited and the Extracts from the Diaries of the late Geoff Crawford together with a number of brilliant photographs of Crosville vehicles and some more of the buses that currently work in the former Crosville area.
Articles in the next edition involves "A Brief History of Crosville in Warrington (Part One)" which was prepared for the recent tour to that area. There is a report of the very successful Chester BusFest that occurred on Easter Monday and there is an update from the Archivist on the Archive.
Hooton Running Days Cancelled
It appears that both the August running day and the Wirral Transport show that was to be held at Hooton are both now cancelled. Discussions are still being held to see if they can be rescued but the outlook is not looking good for these events.
CEC Archive - Sales of surplus material
As will be seen from the report of the Archivist sales of surplus material from the Archive will begin soon. An eBay account has been set up 'CEC67Sales' and the first items to be sold will be some fleet plates. Details of the sales will be included in the Review and there will be a constant entry on this page which will indicate the items to be sold.

April 2026 Review Number 700
The next Review is due to be posted out week begining 20th April and hopefully will be with members shortly afterwards
As usual there is news from around the former Crosville territory and regular features of Reviews Revisited and the Extracts from the Diaries of the late Geoff Crawford together with a number of brilliant photographs of Crosville vehicles and some more of the buses that currently work in the former Crosville area.
In the next edition are two important and significant updates concerning the Archive material. The Web News section details items from tehhe archive that are now available to be viewed. Most of these douments are now with the Bus Archive in Droitwich but they have been scanned and available for members to view.
Secondly, "The CEC Photos" article describes the work undertaken so far in relation to the Club's photographic collection. It includes details of what has been repatriated from Sheffield. Whilst the article outlines the success of the project it also highlights the mammoth task that lies ahead. If any member feels they have time to spare to assist in some way, please contact the Webmaster.
