Motorway Stop: Bostocks of Congleton

Although there are still a few about, lightweight Fords and Bedfords were commonplace. Largely favoured by the smaller coach operator medium-sized concerns like Bostocks liked to divide it's new vehicle orders with mostly these and a few heavyweights for the top-end work. On a busy August Bank Holiday with so many bookings for Blackpool everything would be pressed in to service including this Duple Dominant bodied  Bedford YRQ which might do the job but probably coughing out black smoke would be left lagging far behind Bostock's lively Leopards on the steep inclines of the M6 Motorway.
