August 1968 – Ramsbottom Urban District Council acquired this Weymann bodied Albion Nimbus from Warrington Corporation (#95) in late 1967 although it had been new to the Halifax Joint Omnibus Committee in 1963 (#258). It became RUDC number 12 and was acquired to operate the Holcombe Village service following the reduction by Ribble Motor Services of its workings on service 278 (Walshaw-Tottington-Holcombe Brook-Holcombe Village) which was ‘jointly operated’ by RMS and RUDC between Holcombe Brook and Holcombe Village – in effect Ribble provided most, if not all, the runs between the latter and so when they pulled back RUDC had to provide the replacement facility. Number 12 was seen in the yard at Stubbins Lane garage.
