Buses, coaches, & lorries

I had a ride on this Huddersfield Daimler CVG6LX on Saturday from Brough to Kirkby Stephen West Station which was driven hard especially approaching the steep hill at Wharton Hall lane end up to the station but in typical 6LX style it tackled the hill effortlessly romping up the hill in third gear, unlike many other buses I have ridden on during past Easter rallies at Kirkby Stephen where the drivers hung on too long in higher gears before changing down and loosing momentum or missed a gear altogether. The Ribble Tiger Cub saloon 452 I drove once or twice when working for Ribble at Carlisle in 1964 also a sister of the Harrington Cavalier bodied Leyland Leopard on express runs to Glasgow.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
