Because of the camber, this bus looks as though it is cornering at speed !
Spooky !!!
The driver was standing next to me as I took the picture.
Oh the 320 brings back memories of the sixties, when I was a teenager and used to frequent a club up the stairs in a building opposite where the 320 stopped on Wigan bus station.
When it came in I used to run down the stairs and jump on the back,told the conductor I was Stan Richards' daughter and could I have a lift as they run into the depot. I was never refused and they dropped me off at the bottom of our street in Spring View. Happy days.
Aye, K.P.Heyes mad as a bunch o' frogs knew him well.I assume that he is no longer around seeing that you used the word LATE? Drove 187 scores of times, happy days.

Also drove 187 loads of times, I remember KP Heyes having his photo taken at work for his ID pass, he had a full 'ayatollah' beard, cap and sunglasses on. Next day he shaved the lot off, that was Ken!

The LUT bus is 1965 front entrance Guy Arab 187, RTC352C on a late night 320 route from Liverpool to Wigan via Prescot, St Helens, Haydock, Ashton, and Platt Bridge. The 320 was jointly operated by Lancashire United, Ribble, Wigan and St Helens Corporations. Ribble had another route that went from Liverpool to almost Wigan terminating in Upholland for some reason, via Aintree, Kirkby and Skelmersdale. And it was possible to get from Standish to Liverpool until the 1970s, on a long Ribble route from Liverpool to Blackburn via Maghull, Ormskirk, Burscough, Parbold, Standish, Coppull and Chorley. Anybody remember these routes?
