Blackburn Bus Company

Blackburn Bus Company 11.7m Optare Versa 237 at Preston in 2022, in a Covid key workers tribute

A prior engagement at Blackburn Cathedral on Sunday evening enabled a flying visit to be made to the nearby bus station first. My last visit to Blackburn photographing buses was when the bus station was located next to the railway station, and 1940s Blackburn Corporation Guy Arab IIIs and Ribble Albion Lowlanders were still in regular operation. The current bus scene consists of 11.7m long Optare Versas and the ubiquitous ADL Enviro 200s, etc.
