Buses, coaches, & lorries

Hi Tyneside, I remember Hunter Bros from Tantobie on summer Sundays they used to bring coach loads of working mens club outings etc as did lots of other Co Durham operators over here to ■■■■■■■ on excursions to Keswick. I lived near the junction of the Wigton to Penrith road B5305 where it crossed the main A 595, just past the junction was a small lay by with an RAC call box but usually occupied by a bus or coach on a comfort stop but at the same time refilling bladders with bottles of beer being handed out through the centre rear emergency door. All the crates of course were stacked up against the door VOSA would have a fit today if they came across such a scene. There were some rare vehicles used Northern in particularly used to turn up with those old Guy Arab service buses with 5 LW Gardners similar to the one shown above producing a tedious run from the North East.
Happy carefree days and no tachographs Cheers, Leyland 600
