Ribble Motor Services had an L Reg. Leyland Leopard with the same “M Type” Alexander bodywork,
whether it was built to “Night Running Spec”, I do not know.It led quite a chequered career, ending up being retained (and scrapped) in lieu of default on payment for recovery

She was based at Hulme hall road for along time. Her regular driver was Chalky White. He would fight anyone to get her on his duties. later he bought her and his company was called Sports Tours. Not a big success from what i gather.Prob why she was scrapped. I believe that Chalky is still around today. Can anyone confirm ? .
Hello Trucky, could your Chalky be no other than John Whitehead. 
If it is the same bloke he was an Oldham Athletic fanatic who ran Sports Tours to take the fans to away matches. He organised one away trip on a train and blagged his way onto the footplate of the train so you won’t be surprised to hear that the train crashed. I believe that the train ran into the buffers, I can’t remember where it happened but I am sure that it was just a coincidence that John had been talking to the driver.
If it is the same bloke then click on the link and look away now.
