Ribble 767 (TRN 767) - 8 May 1972

Monday 8 May 1972 – It was rare indeed for a Ribble vehicle to be seen on a service working of the X79 route, the X79 was routinely covered by Yelloway and Standerwick. Ribble 767 (TRN 767), a 1964 Leyland Leopard with Marshall dual purpose bodywork, was operating what was normally a Standerwick working. It was seen on the ‘Blackpool stand’ at Weir Street, Rochdale when working the 1315 Oldham-Blackpool X79 service due through Rochdale at 1345.
