Description
The Ribble Motor Company started operating in 1919 and grew into the largest bus and coach operator in the North West. It became part of the National Bus Company in 1969. In 1972 its famous cherry red and cream livery was changed as part of NBC's corporate identity to white on the new single deckers. Our single deck coach is typical of this era, registered TRN 745 but still featuring the Ribble Motor Services name on the rear and their address in Frenchwood, Preston on the side behind the front wheel. The familiar red and blue National graphics are printed on the sides and rear of the vehicle and a final detail sees the coach going to Blackpool as the X55.
