Manufacturer description

Duple was an English bus bodybuilder founded in Hornsey by Herbert White, operating from 1919 right through to 1989. Our model of the Duple Roadmaster hails from the 1950s and makes its fifth appearance in the highly popular livery of Ribble Motor Services Limited who were based in Preston, Lancashire. Decorated in their signature cream and red with gold and red lettering, the 41 seater coach also features brown red interior seating and an ivory floor. It is registered EFV 150 and looking at the destination board, it is heading to Leeds as the J1. Perhaps a day's shopping is on the agenda!
