Ribble Motor Services territory once stretched from Solway Firth to the Mersey. In the run up to privatisation, the operations in Cumbria passed to Cumberland Motor Services, while operations in Merseyside formed the basis of a revived North Western company. Ribble and Cumberland are now part of the Stagecoach empire.
