Here's a pic of a corpy bus I snapped whilst driving along Mossy Lea Road in Wrightington.
Probably private owned.

It is privately owned, Bill. The same bus was parked outside St.Maries church, Standish one afternoon a few months ago, all decked out inside in white - obviously to transport wedding guests. A retired ex Ribble/Wigan Corpy driver I know and who lives in Standish drives it for the owners.

Thanks for the Info DerekB. Just fancy the owner trying to fit that in his drive! I really liked that version of the bus. Modern front access but with the old style 'croaker' grill.
