Re: Peel Street
I think Tea has this one right. The colour use to be on buses from Bacup. I use to catch one every week to go and see my Auntie.
Bacup...now there's a dead end! |

Re: Peel Street
I don't think Bacup had their own buses. I am pretty sure it is Haslingden.

Re: Peel Street
Thinking about it, you're right Jeff.....the Haslingden buses were pale blue & cream....but the only route they ran was to Bacup, through Haslingden! The piccy is accurate in so far as it shows the actual bus stop for the Bacup bus.
However, there's something not quite right about the Accy bus leaving for Ossy...the Ossy bus stop was right behind the clock so any bus leaving from that stop would be coming out onto the zebra at at angle, whereas the bus in the piccy is square on. Just a minor point...it's another wise cracking piccy & I'm saving 50p a week for one. |

Re: Peel Street
Your right T, the bus behind is at the Ossy bus stop no 19 if my memory servers me right but 2 at the same time never.

Re: Peel Street
I don't know about anybody else, but that’s a picture that brings back a lot of memories, I’ve would have done a few trips on that very bus.
Can anyone remember the Copper Kettle? I use to sit in there until the bus was ready to go and make myself sick on Milkshakes – Butterscotch, Yuk. |

Re: Peel Street
The copper kettle always full and right next door to the toilets and of course the Willows Lane bus stop just outside, wow memories of Saturday afternoon being dragged around the indoor market, woolies, marks and sparks, the outdoor market then the copper kettle, jump on the Willows lane bus and home for the Football results.(no Accy Stanley in those days).
