The WYPTE colours are fantastic! If you're a 70s throwback like me they are ideal - nostalgic is the word! I've got pics of all three of your vehicles in...

Anything that you can provide would be interesting, thanks. I am an 80s throwback, not 70s, even so, the last LCT colours are far better than PTE (even though...
Hi Craig, I was born in 1978 so I too dont remember the pre-PTE fleets. My earliest memories go back to around 1983/4. I was brought up in Bradford and I...
It is still the plan (likely to be next year rather than this) for 5507 to go in Yorkshire Rider livery - so should be two 80s throwbacks to look at! 5507...

One day yes, when the design of the coach seats can be sourced, and the moquette, and a five-figure sum of money. The moquette should be the easiest to get...

An unusual shot of 5024 uploaded to the group. The only info I have on 5024 is that it was new into serice on 27th October 1982. All the best Paul WYPTE Group...
Interesting history on this one, Paul. Don't think I ever caught one of this series. So did Bradford only have 1070 for those 2 days then? Did they ever get...
I am not sure whether any other Swifts were loaned to Bradford, although Metro Bradford did have their own (Marshall bodied) Swifts until wihdrawal in 1980. I...
Thanks Paul. A strange one that! Yes I remember the handful of Bradford Swifts, and caught them a few times as a kid. I wonder why Metro Bradford and...
Yes, I think Bradford must have been the only district not to run single deckers for many many years. The ex Bradford Swifts were probably the last single...

I don't class the Leyland Cubs and Starriders as *proper* single deckers. They are more midibuses in my opinion! All the best Paul ... From: ricdude85 To:...
I wasn't aware that 1617 (or related) was in Bradford in Bradford Traveller livery. You learn somehting new everyday...! We had some interesting buses around...
Yes, I'm of the same opinion as Paul as regards "proper" single deckers! Other districts had Leopards and Tigers, which passed Bradford by! It was a novelty...
