Buses, coaches, & lorries

Walton man:
Thank you Ray for the reply to my White Lady mid bodied door memory.
Sorry to be so long coming back to you.
It would not be the Standerwick type bus that I recall. My bus journey days had ended well before they came out so I must be confused.
I do recall the Ribble double decker where the upstairs seats were four in bench form with the gangway down the offside.
I hope I am not dreaming that one. Probably 1955 or 6 and on the Preston-Blackburn route.
This is a very interesting forum and a nostalgic memory jerker. Thanks and keep it up.

Peter

Ribble 1248 - Preserved second generation White Lady. (New in 1951).
This is the version you remember with the offside upper deck sunken gangway.

Two examples of the third generation White Ladies (new in 1962) survive in preservation:


Ribble 1274 - Owned by John Cherry, Liverpool.


Ribble 1279 - Owned by the Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust.
