Ribble 100

The Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust's Morecambe Vintage Bus Day is always an event to enjoy. This year was no exception, as there was even more reason for celebration; the 100th anniversary of the formation of Ribble Motor Services. Apart from the usual excitement of the buses running along Morecambe promenade from Carnforth to Heysham Village there were four routes to enjoy as well as a superb display of Ribble and other buses and coaches at the Globe Arena. On the promenade there was a display of modern contemporary buses displaying former liveries carried by Ribble buses. These buses are operated by Stagecoach, Arriva and Transdev, the latter with an interpretation of the original Ribble livery 100 years later. Of the visiting preserved buses and coaches, there were at least 24 bus companies represented. Watch the festivities of the Ribble 100 event as they unfolded on the day.
