The Wheel Tappers' and Shunters' Social Club

(Granada variety series, 1974-7)

“Former Bullocks, Cheadle, Foden PVSC6 coach LMA284 featured on Granada's 'Wheel Tappers and Shunters Social Club Outing' in the 1970s. The bus is still used and in the care of the Museum of Transport, Manchester.” (thanks Alan at Oldham 163 Preservation Group) Bob Wingrove adds: “LMA284 (which is quite nice to drive actually) has a Lawton body. This is its second body; the original fell apart.” It's thought to be the only surviving Lawton body; Fodens were never very common. Peter Tulloch notes the original body was by Wadhams.
