Ribble Running Day

Former Ribble Leyland Atlantean 1805 (RRN 405) running on service 22 at Queens Terrace in Fleetwood

Unfortunately a prior engagement had prevented me from attending the Lancastrian Transport Trust's Ribble Running Day on the Fylde Coast on Sunday 3rd April, however I did eventually manage to squeeze in the final round trip from Cleveleys to Fleetwood and return later in the afternoon. The bus used on the last Fleetwood run was Leyland Atlantean 1805 (RRN 405) with lowbridge Metro Cammell bodywork, new to Ribble Motors in 1962. The other two buses in use during the running day were former Ribble Bristol VRT 1997 (OCK 997K) and Bristol RESL 366 (OCK 366K).
