This Ribble Leyland Leopard was new to the Wigan
depot of Ribble in 1967. I drove it many times in
the 2 years that I was at Ribble from early 1968.
It is seen here about 1971, burnt out. Does anyone
know the circumstances of the fire?.

It looks like the fire started behind the driver.

This Ribble bus, fleet number 899 is parked at the rear of
the Ribble bus garage. At the rear is Miry Lane, the single
deck bus is a Bristol RE, parked outside what was to become
the Head Office of Shearings coach tours. Shearings recently
vacated the building.
