• The Drawlane Group has sold Crosville Motor Services to PMT of Stoke-on-Trent.

The Chester-based subsidiary's break-up began last November, when its profitable operations were transferred to other Drawlane Group companies, leaving just over a third of the 500-vehicle company, with operations at Chester, Northwich and Birkenhead.
