As a supplementary point and having mentioned half-cabs, I read on another site that the final batch of PD3s, 166-9, were converted to o-p-o in 1972. A feature in Classic Bus some time ago reckoned only 8 companies used half-cab buses as driver only, and Hyndburn wasn't on that list, so does...

Jimmy Ruffin was my favourite Motown artist, "Farewell Is A Lonely Sound" that IS a classic record in my humble opinion, closely followed by Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine".

My Wife and I went there with another couple yesterday, very good and good value for money.
