The above scenes of the former Chrishall Premier Bus Depot date from the 1960s. The site was later the home of Funston's coaches and haulage which relocated to Royston. It has since been redeveloped for housing - see Loveday Close  (use the "Back" button on your browser to return to this page). The photo on the General Information page of the modern housing  is taken from the same view as the "White Lady" bus on the right. (These photos came courtesy of Busman's web site - now apparently defunct)

The Ribble "White Lady" bus on the left stands at the premier Bus Depot ready to depart for Fowlmere while the one on the right is about to depart for Royston via Chrishall and Barley. These buses were a common sight in the village during the 1960s when car ownership was not so extensive as today.

Sometime around the year 2000, "Exclusive First Editions" produced a nicely detailed model of a Premier Travel AEC London STL bus, reg. no. DGX 285 with the destination Chrishall. The bus was new for London transport in 1936 but was owned and operated by Premier Travel between March 1954 and October 1956.
