Beryl in Burnley

Earlier in the week we had Discovery Tours Leyland Leopard “Beryl” and one reader was curious as to her age. Thanks to Gordon Watkins I can now bring you a photo of the bus in her original state as Burnley & Pendle YHG16V:

I think I prefer the original Alexander body but its nice to see her still trundling round Plymouth.

• the only remedy in this situation surely is to increase general contract prices on the assumption that on n days, the contract won’t run and there will be no payment. That way, operators continue to cover overheads even where there is no payment for non-running. The BBC might not understand this but I suspect Scottish councils do. Omnibuses

At the awards, for example, the minister announced the third round of the green bus fund. Now there’s 2½ times the cash going into BBAs—£50mil—directly into urban areas. Omnibuses
