Manufacturer description

The familiar and well-loved cream and maroon livery of Preston-based Ribble Motor Services is the latest to appear on our early Plaxton Panorama. Our 49 seater coach features a brown red interior and seating with beige dashboard. Externally, the bumpers and wheels are masked silver. The coach is registered TRN 743 and is off to Blackpool as the X60. Another detail shows the Ribble Motor Services Preston address under General Manager George Brook printed behind the nearside front wheel arch. The large rectangular windows certainly offer a good view for all passengers along the way.
