Preserved heritage half-cabs - a photo on Flickriver

            These two very different half-cab single-deckers are seen here at Skipton Bus Station, on 09/10/2005, at what is now known as the Aire Valley Transport Group Yorkshire Dales Running Day. Whereas now the event is based at Coach Street Car Park, with services radiating from the bus station, back when this photo was taken, the event was based at Bolton Abbey Station of the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Station Steam Railway. Leading the way here is preserved Bolton Corporation Transport, 8, DBN978, an all-Crossley SD42/7. It was new to the former Lancashire municipal in 09/1949. At the rear is longtime preserved Western National(Royal Blue), 1228, HOD30. A Beadle bodied Bristol L6A. It was new to Western National in 10/1948. These days, this Bristol operates for Yesteryear Coaches, Baildon, West Yorks., on Private Hires and Weddings although it still features at bus events in the north of England quite regularly. 

The camera being a Pentax MZ-M with the film being a Fujichrome Colourslide.

I would request, as with all my photos, that they are not copied or downloaded in any way, shape or form. © Peter Steel 2005.
