PDF-119-2 Page 2 John Fishwick & Sons 1907-2015 After a spell working with the Leyland Steam Motor Company in Leyland, John Fishwick decided to start his own haulage business. In 1907 he purchased a steam wagon from his former employers and began hauling rubber from the local works to Liverpool and Manchester. In 1910 he purchased another Leyland vehicle - this time a Leyland X-type with petrol engine that was used as a lorry but could be fitted with a very basic style of wagonette body seating 30 passengers for a Saturday only service to Leyland market from Eccleston, that commenced in 1911. More vehicles followed, most of which had interchangeable bodies for use as a lorry as well as a bus. Soon John Fishwick was operating a number of routes serving Preston, Chorley and Ormskirk.

  • Buses That We Don't Have Current Details For
    Check List - buses that we don't have current details for The main lists on our website show the details of the many thousands of open top buses that currently exist throughout the world, and those that are listed as either scrapped or for scrap. However, there are a number of buses in our database that we don’t have current details for, that could still exist or have been scrapped. The buses listed on this page are those that we need to confirm the location and status of. These buses do not appear on any of our other lists, so if you're looking for a particular vehicle, it could be here. Please have a look at this page and if you can update any of it, even if only a small piece of information that helps to determine where a bus is now, then please contact us using the link button on the Front Page. The buses are divided into lists in Chassis manufacturer order. ? REG NO / LICENCE PLATE CHASSIS BODY STATUS/LAST KNOWN OWNER J2374 ? ?

  • Buses Scrapped, Or Sold for Scrap AEC Regent II
    Buses scrapped, or sold for scrap This is our list of buses that have been scrapped, sold for scrap, or are thought to no longer exist. These buses can be considered to fall into two categories. Buses scrapped In most cases, these buses will have been sold to a vehicle dismantler or scrap dealer, where they would be stripped of any useful parts and the remains cut up, so that the vehicle no longer exists. In some cases the dismantling or cutting up has been done by the bus owner and the remains sold to a scrap dealer. Buses sold for scrap When buses are sold for scrap, it is probably the intention of the seller that the vehicle should be dismantled. Many of our records are conclusive, in that we record that the buses no longer exist. However, other buses are shown as ‘scrapped’, but it is possible that while we believe they were sold for dismantling, the physical destruction process may not yet have happened, and the buses may still exist on the dealer’s premises in either complete form or in a delapitated condition. We will update the records on this list in due course to identify any buses that we thought had been destroyed that perhaps do still exist in ‘sold for scrap’ condition. The buses are grouped into ‘Chassis Make’ lists, in registration/licence plate order. As always, if you can update or correct anything on this list, please contact us. Please note that there may be some conflicts with buses listed on the ‘To Check’ page, where this page has been updated and the To Check page has still to be updated.

  • Gordon Mills, Trust Chairman Chairman's
    Chairman's Update …. It is this time of year, when we are making our return to The Scottish Charities Regulator, that we reflect on the last season and what we have achieved with restoration and repairs. It was a busy year for events, and we have set out on major projects in the workshops. The events season was dominated by the display at Castlegate and the Open Day at Alford which, thankfully was dry again and both these were a big success with numbers up from last time. We were asked to do three days at Balmoral during 2019, carrying visitors from the gate to the visitor centre, these days are thoroughly enjoyable and help to keep the wheels turning, all were completed without any problems. We were helped this year by Graham Davidson who is one of the rare breed of “crash gearbox” drivers and is now familiar with PA171. The “Blast from the past” event at Thainstone Mart was attended by Leyland National 74 and received much attention being the only bus there. This show is well attended with a tremendous atmosphere and well worth a visit. The BA Stores Open Weekend and ploughing competition was plagued by rain however, taking a bus to these venues always provides a dry zone where the public can come out of the wet and see what we get up to,131 was our entrant this year. The workshops have been very busy with Daimler CVD6 number 11 in for full restoration and much progress has already been achieved. Daimler 14 similar to 11 but with some of its original Walker bodywork has gone to Lathalmond where it also is under- going a full restoration into its “as delivered” layout.
