Evening Sunshine in Blackburn


Sometimes in Summer not only can we take photographs right into the evening if we avoid getting caught in the long shadows we can take some pleasing soft mellow images like this golden view of Blackburn Bus Station. I know that might sound a contradiction of terms but if one likes Leylands this was a pretty good place to hear those sounds too. No Ribble buses here but there were two Atlanteans from Blackburn itself and Hyndburn (Accrington) down the road, plus of course the best sounding Leyland of them all, the Leopard coach. This example working for Powercraft's on route to Guide Bridge obvious previously ran for Rennie of Dumfermaline as it was still wearing their maroon and cream colours.

  1. APA was a Plaxton Panorama Elite bodied Leyland Leopard L2, it was new to Ribble in 1962, carrying a Harrington Body, and registered PCK 614, it came to Powercrafts from a hospital in the Bristol area, having been rebodied in 1972.
