Re: Jack Bradley Transport

Checked before posting yesterday and yes, was asked back in (I think) 2007 with no replies received then. Thought it worth asking the question as people and things change.

Re: Question for computor buffs

I'm no expert, but from past experience, it could be an email made up of an image rather than text. If your email system is set up to receive 'plain text' emails, it will not be able to display an...

Re: Hyndburn Transport

Re: Hyndburn Transport

It's certainly a good selection of pictures and I'm very glad that Steve not only had the foresight to take them, but took the trouble to make them available.

There's quite a lot of Hyndburn...

Re: Hyndburn Transport

Never thought of that! If Steve's happy for me to do so, I don't see a problem as I am definitely not looking to make anything exclusive to myself. I'll ask the question .....!

Re: Hyndburn Transport

Thanks for the pics Steve - a good record of Ellison Street in its last days. I'll make sure they are widely seen, including sending them on to Accrington Library for you as Bob suggested.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the information and sorry for the delayed reply - been away for a few days.

Thanks for your message.

From an employee viewpoint, I'd like to find out what it was like to work for Hyndburn Transport. From the outside, it seemed like a generally decent operation, but how...

Thankyou Bernard - that is greatly appreciated. Any information would be of great use. I am seeing that there were a lot of 'politics' around at the time and the final sale appears to have been a bit...

Re: Hyndburn Transport

Yes, Stagecoach had a reputation for forcing Councils into selling - Lancaster and Darlington I think were two such examples. Interesting to see they have such a good reputation these days!

Re: Hyndburn Transport

No problem! I can take a look at the Transdev folk directly and see if I can find some ex Hyndburn guys to speak to, now I know there are still some around.

Thanks again.

Re: Hyndburn Transport

It'll be interesting to speak to some of the drivers at some stage so I'll come back on that one if that's ok? And see if something can be arranged.

Thanks!

Re: Hyndburn Transport

I'll take a look at that one - I know Rigby's were a part of Hyndburn Transport at one point, so it's a logical move for Andrew to 'take that with him'.

Thanks.
