Nearest and Dearest

(1972, Hylda Baker, Jimmy Jewell)

Coarse and crass widescreen upgrade from a TV sitcom. Nellie Pledge disembarks from VTX443, an ex Rhondda AEC Regent V/Weymann new in 1958. The destination is 'Colne' and the fleetname is the fictional 'Northern Bus Co.':

Later in the film there is a glimpse of trams in Blackpool, and a Blackpool Leyland Titan:
