W and B Pickup NDK 67G in Rochdale - 23 Dec 1974

Monday 23 December 1974 – The immaculate coaches owned by W & B Pickup of Norden, near Rochdale were regularly seen working for Yelloway although this picture was not taken when on Yelloway work. Bill and Beryl Pickup secured separate contracts to run shuttle services from The Esplanade in Rochdale to the Tesco store at Sudden and to the Asda store at Castleton. NDK 67G was a very powerful sounding Leyland Leopard with Duple Commander bodywork which I understand was diverted from an order placed by Lathkill Coaches of Monyash, Derbyshire.
