Anyone have any memories of Blackburn Transport here?
I grew up with them, remember their fleet being quite interesting. My Route was the 8A/8B/8C/
, so we usually had Dennis Darts, V Reg and 51 plate ones. Occasionally we got a H Reg Leyland Olympian or a Metrorider. But not often.
The Renowns was usually on the 18/19 Feniscowles and also on the 1.
The Highercrofts was interesting and Leyburn Roads, as that had anything from a Metrorider to a Dart to or an Olympian or Greenway, or an East Lancs B6. Remember the Leyland Nationals that got converted into the Greenways from East Lanc, they usually ended up on the 4 to Highercroft/or the old 346
I remember 2 Volvo Olympians being painted into the Orange and Purple,OuterCricle Livery, always thought it was attractive. I always remember the school fleet, tons of olympians and some Titans as well.
I miss Blackburn Transport and them operating all of the local services in Blackburn, along with the 1, shame what Blackburn is now, from the Blackburn I grew up with.
