Rateable Reliance!
Photographed taking part in 2018's Easter Kirkby Stephen & Brough vintage vehicle rally is Lawrence Mc Duff's fabulous Willowbrook (badged Duple) AEC Reliance. Dual purpose LUS 524E had been new in 1968 to that legendary provider of transport in and around the Scottish Highlands, Macbraynes. Since retirement, it has lead a life where its wanted for nothing, owned by a doting enthusiast and as a result is a joy to both see and ride in.
For the first time in years the Kirkby Stephen event was cancelled this year (2020) as the Covid situation rendered its operation impossible. The photo here was taken as LUS paused at the bus stop for passengers wishing to visit Kirkby Stephen (East) station and its preserved railway. Next stop at the top of the hill would be Kirkby Stephen's remaining station on the national network (West as was) which forms the terminus of the free bus service for the event.
