Ramsbottom UDC 1 (247 STD) - 31 May 1966

Tuesday 31 May 1966 – Ramsbottom Urban District Council 1 (247 STD) was an East Lancs bodied Leyland PD2/24 new in January 1964. It was the only bus in the fleet to have the ‘Midland Red’ style Leyland front subsequent double deckers had what was dubbed the ‘St. Helens front’. It was seen in Bolton Street, Ramsbottom on a Bury to Edenfield working. Some services travelled via Stubbins between Ramsbottom and Edenfield and some travelled via Shuttleworth as this one is. The destination blind includes the words “Via Rams’m and Shutt’h” – Ramsbottom and Shuttleworth would take up quite a lot of space on the blind!
