In the days of discovery.
Back in the mid 1970's and the discovery that the 'Fleet News' section of Buses Magazine was more interesting than school textbooks, a whole new world began to demand exploring. Once fired with enthusiasm, the ability to enjoy limited travel and photography there was no keeping a keen teenage enthusiast down.
My first visit to Southport with a camera in 1976 (and no real knowledge of how to use it properly!) brought me into this amazing place. This former CLC Lord Street railway station train shed was then used as by Ribble as a bus station and I think, garage. For me, it was perhaps the most grand bus station I'd then seen, and to find these full fronted MCW bodied Leyland Titan PD3s in residence was a real bonus.
