Sunday 1 September 2024 – BUSES Festival, Sywell Aerodrome

Preserved former Todmorden Joint Omnibus Committee 18 (HWY 36), a Leyland bodied Leyland PD2/1 new in January 1950.

The Todmorden Joint Omnibus Committee undertaking was owned jointly by Todmorden Corporation initially in partnership with the London Midland and Scottish Railway Company (1931-1947). After the nationalisation of railways the partner became British Railways (from 1947).

Prior to 1947 the total bus fleet saw shared ownership but from 1947 each partner owned their own individual buses in an equal number. This was one of the vehicles owned by Todmorden Corporation.
