Todmorden Bus

Once a single deck bus, this Leyland Tiger TS6, ex-number 15, YG7831 was withdrawn in 1941 and converted to a tow bus or recovery truck. This scene shows it in a one man operated bus recovery during a snow storm which blocked the road between Pecket Well and Aires Corner on the Old Town route. Hepton Rural Council crew assisted as well as the duty inspector and bus General Manager, Mr W.E.Metcalfe. This Tow Bus is now privately owned and in the process of full restoration as a single deck bus. The bus was Todmorden green but the crane on the back was red.
