Ramsbottom UDC bus crews at the bus garage with bus 1 (247 STD) - 31 May 1966

Ramsbottom UDC bus crews at the bus garage with bus 1 (247 STD) - 31 May 1966
Tuesday 31 May 1966 – Ramsbottom Urban District Council 1 (247 STD) seen outside the garage in Stubbins Lane, Ramsbottom. The driver and conductress (what female conductors were called back then) were Jim and Amelia Driver. They are both in the darker clothing and had just brought the bus in from Edenfield and were being relieved by another crew - although that driver wasn’t up for being in the photograph. The bus is an East Lancs bodied Leyland PD2/24 new in January 1964.

Hi Roy, What a coincidence. It was purely a chance meeting that day, 50 years ago in a few weeks time! I was brought up and lived in Rochdale and I had gone on a bus ride via Edenfield, Ramsbottom and Bury. I got talking to your Mum and Dad before riding into Ramsbottom on their bus. During the chat I took a photograph at Edenfield (which is also included in my set on this site) before we left. I took this one when we reached Stubbins Lane garage. Your Mum and Dad came off the bus at the garage either for a meal/rest break or maybe it was the end of their duty that day.
