Preserved Ribble - 1467 JCK542 - Leyland Titan PD2/12 - Burlingham
This smart PD2, restored after a thorough restoration, was new to Ribble in 08/1956 being one of forty-five of the type supplied new in that year. All these, apart from the latter five, had a power operated rear platform-door. Making it's preservation debut during 2021, it is seen here on display at the Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust's Lytham Hall Rally & Running Day, on 17/07/2022. Alongside is something a little different! It is preserved Stagecoach Ribble 135 F135SPX, Duple bodied Dennis Javelin 11SDL1914. It was new to Hampshire Bus(801), in 03/1989, being one of three. All three then passed within Stagecoach Holdings to Stagecoach Ribble and worked out of Morecambe depot. This photo was taken from preserved Devon General, 'Sir Thomas Howard' - 931, 931 GTA, a convertible open-top bodied Metro-Cammell bodied Leyland Atlantean PDR1/1 when on a Barrow Transport Group members tour when leaving the running day. A recent acquisition as part of the BTG collection, it was new to Devon General(DL931), in 06/1961, and is preserved in NBC 'Local Coach' livery. It is one of several 'Sea Dog' Atlanteans in preservation. © Peter Steel 2022.
