POPS 2006 - Hollinshead's Foden.
It's that time of year again for us at RBW, and certain members of the Potteries Omnibus Preservation Society like 'Deltabus', to see whether all the efforts put into preparing for our 'big day' tomorrow have been worthwhile. Sunday 10th May is our annual rally and running day based on the Wedgwood visitor centre, Barlaston, Stoke on Trent.
A guest entrant in 2006 was Roger Burdett's superbly restored Metalcraft bodied Foden PVRF6, NTU 125. This particular coach was quite a 'local' machine, chassis built in South Cheshire at Sandbach, body built in North Staffordshire at Blythe Bridge, and for an operator based at Scholar Green. Power came from the wonderful sounding Foden's own six cylinder 'in line' two stroke (two cycle) 4 litre diesel. The coach is preserved in the latter day variant of Hollinshead's Coaches livery, as new it would have carried maroon and off white.
