The Square, Milnthorpe – 1969
The 'Flying Dutchman', serving 'Coffee in the Continental Manner' no longer plies its trade in 2021, but remarkably you can still catch a service 555 bus to Ambleside.
Ribble Motor Services was the dominant bus company in much of Lancashire, Westmoreland and southern Cumberland, at this time still part of the BET group. It would become part of the National Bus Company in 1970. Bus 1602 is a Leyland PD3 with Burlingham bodywork, new in 1958. Ribble was one of a very small number of bus operators to specify a full width driver's cab on front-engined double deck buses.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link
