Like the Buses, this thread keeps turning up so I'd thought four more might be of interest. I know my dad drove these so it makes sharing them that much more better.

Hi Ernie,

He was Alan Douglas. He was on the buses from about mid 1960 through to about 68/69. :)

I can also remember a chap called Sadat who was a close family friend at the time and a driver called Farnworth wgo live at the end of Miller Fold.

Out of interest and not connected with the buses. I would like to contact a chap called Jim Peters. He'll be knocking on now, so if anyone knows him let me know. :)

Re: Accy Buses............

I was on the buses from 1973 to 1993 Doug so I must have missed your Dad by a few years but I did know the Farnworth Brothers John (Driver) and George (Conductor). I bet Lettie and Grego's Dad knows him I think he was on the buses around 68/69ish.

Are they still with us Ernie? I remember John well, his son was a mate when we where kids.

I'm not sure about George but I remember John passing away when I lived in Accrington.

TM between 1974 till they ended Accrington Corporation Transport (ACT) was known as Hyndburn Borough Transport (HBT)

I was on "the buses" from 1977-1987.

Steeljack depending on where you live is dependent on how much to Blackburn.
I live in Clayton and a trip to Blackburn is £2.20 single or a return for £2.80. Taxis about £8-10!!

Re: Accy Buses............

Good evening.

Is there anyone out there who could claim to be an expert on Accrington/Hyndburn buses? The period I want to ask some questions about would be late 1970s/early 1980s, so may therefore need to be a more "mature" member of the forum!

Hoping to receive some positive replies!

Dave

P.S. Thanks to Doug for sending me a PM earlier.

We have a member who is a 'Blakey'(retired bus inspector) for Blackburn Corporation, and who collects model buses.
You will get an answer when he sees this
