Buses, coaches, & lorries

Leyland600:
Ray if a number display like this one had been shown on a Carlisle depot bus you would have heard the chief inspector bawling the crew out down in Wigan !!! May be some kids had been fiddling with the winding handle and track selector which was behind the top deck front panel and accessible by opening two turnbuckles.
Cheers Leyland 600.

Gerald…Yes, occasionally, schoolkids would mess about with the destination blinds and numbers.
During my time with Ribble, these older PD2 61 seaters were mainly used for works and school
journeys between 7 a.m, and 9 a.m. and later in the day between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and if there
was a problem with the destination blinds, they were not fixed for many days, unfortunately, some
bus crews were not particularly bothered what was showing on the front of the bus. I used to check
what my blinds were showing by checking the reflection in the rear window of a car or van ahead
of me in crawling traffic. Regards, Ray.
