Keith Powell

It is with great shock and sadness I learnt tonight of the passing of Keith Powell.  I’d not heard from Keith in a while and now understand why.  He was so very supportive and even encouraged that I create a book from the initial article I had shared on line of Crosville in Liverpool which is now reality, as well as the restoration of CRG163.

A number of years ago by now we were opposite numbers within the bus industry in Wales.  Keith was the GM at Arriva Aberystwyth and myself being GM at Lloyds Coaches in Machynlleth.  Whilst being competitors and professional, we also became really good friends and remained as such as we moved to different roles within the bus industry.

I echo the sentiments and loss shared by many of us across the whole bus industry in Wales when I say that we are thinking of you Keith, your friends and family as we send our deepest condolences to you all.

The photos below are a collage of images when Keith visited a while back to see the progress of CRG163’s restoration.
