Ancient and Modern meet in this picture of Colne's '1905' station,
with a Ford D600 and Commer HY 352KTF seen side by side.
A picture of the Commer, when less than two years old,
appears on the Padiham library pictures page.

Karrier 415ATC began life at Colne, but had almost certainly moved on when this picture was taken.

The Commer HY in the previous picture was on the run as a reserve appliance
having been based at Padiham.  Contemporary with that appliance was this
Bedford J5 283LTD which was allocated to Colne, and replaced by the first Ford's to be purchased.
(Copyright details believed to be the late Mike Brockbank.)

Bedford J4 283LTD was part of the driving school fleet and was seen here in Garstang.

Ford D600s WTD866H & WTD867H were both originially allocated to Colne.
In the above pictures 866 is running as a reserve, whilst 867 is seen outside the new station.
