Does anyone have old footage of Preston Bus? All you find on YouTube are the old buses and mainly the 11, 16, 24, and 25...all of which suffered tragic fates but I would like to see more old 29s (the original), 30s and 31s as such, and all the buses that have ever operated through Preston as such.
Can someone lend a hand with footage?

29? Where did that go? :shock:

I can remember some old buses (i.e. the Atlanteans OBV 158X, DRN 176Y etc) used on the 32 route (another route since canned) before the Metroriders took over (wonder where M410 TCK is these days). They then moved to school specials and were replaced a few years ago by second hand Olympians, most of which are still going; I think Stagecoach got rid of the last of them.

In terms of footage, you'll struggle to find anything covering the Atlantean/Olympian era.

The 32 used to stop outside my house!
The 29 was to the 31 territory, soon cancelled along with the 30, the new 29 runs to Frenchwood instead of Savick :(
30 minutes Savick-Bus Station; it used to be 9.
