Hi There, 
Just joined the forum today after joining your sister forum the south Yorks forum...and i am looking forward to getting to know some of you..and hopefully you maybe able to help & advice me on topics related to Bus History,in west Yorks
I am in English,in my 50s,married to a Norwegian and living in Norway (5years) love the place very much.
I am Yorkshire Born & Bred!!born Castleford,brought up Pontefract & Knottingley..lived out at Kellingley Pit..Have travelled widley..
I am not ashamed to admit i am full of nostalgia for times past..I am passionate about Railway History...especially the industrial lines and industries they served...
But at the moment at least i am trying to find some information,taking me back to my childhood in Pontefract..As a child i attended North gate school Ponte..i used to love the buses of the time..which i caught daily from Ponte Bus station both West Riding or could have been West Yorkshire?(1960-70)I also took the South Yorkshire Motors Bus to Kellingley...(1968-70)....
My late father worked for South Yorkshire motors before i was born when they were located ,I forget for the moment where in Ponte??
no matter..
Of late i have started to collect model Die Cast Vehicles and wondered if by any chance their were any 1:50 scale buses from the above period for the above companies available? that would be superb! if they were.I am no expert on bus types e.t.c. but the south yorks buses were the open back type a dark & light blue livery..
If anyone can help i would be very much obliged to you...
look forward very much to hearing from you
all the very best
regards Steve
