MY DAD WAS AT LUT ON LIVERPOOL RD IS NAME WAS TOMMY WALKER

My mum. And dad worked for the LUT in the fifties. Norman and Doris Harter. Mum was a clip pie and dad a driver

hi avril do you have a sister named anne? and use to live near the depot on liverpool rd. we use to live in wright st just off liverpool rd. you may remember my sister lilian she went to moss lane school and now lives in staffordshire. she use to mate about with our cousins carol and sandra dewhurst from ridyard st.

My dad wuz probz driving that bus,he drove for LUT.

I remember that bus used to go past the front door my grandad's old house on Syresham Street in Platt Bridge (the number 1 did as well), I'd hear it as I lay in bed.

Roc the number one bus did go past syresham st on Liverpool rd from atherton to St. Helens,the 320 route never past syresham st it travelled from Wigan ,Spring view ,King Billy pub ,through to Ashton and onwards to Liverpool,I had a old school mate from syresham st by the name of Trevor Hughes don't know what ever happened to him.

Avril Leech nee Harter,I remember Norman Harter & Avril Harter didn't you live next door to Peggy Bullin just before the depot. I also later in life did drove the LUT buses 1965-74

To us as kids, the 320 to Liverpool (sometimes a Ribble exotic bus) was almost continental travel as Liverpool seemed a world away. The No.1 to St.Helens was only slightly less exotic. In those days Wigan was as far as we got.
