From Largs to London via Wigan? I doubt it…
I had just stepped off the train in the background to find this old bus parked in the Largs station yard. It was clearly not long for this world. Like many a redundant bus of the time, it had been acquired by a building contractor for site transport. As well as providing a rudimentary hand-painted registration plate, someone had thought fit to paint ‘London’ in its destination aperture. The bus is a 1950 Leyland PD2/1 with Leyland bodywork. Its registration of JP8304 shows that it had once been part of the Wigan Corporation fleet. It is unlikely to have ever made that trip to London.
