Corgi Classics - Original Omnibus Company |
From the company's formation in 1919 until 1922 the Ribble fleet consisted of an odd assortment of vehicles from other operators and the military. The long association with Leyland started in 1922 with the acquisition of its SG7 model, followed by SG9 and SG11, building the fleet to 94 by 1925. 183 PLSC Leyland Lions were delivered from 1926 onward, followed by LT Lions. 1929 saw the first double deckers appear, when Leyland Titan TD1 48 seaters took the total to 474 vehicles by the end of that year. Thus the pattern for growth and standardisation on Leyland products was set until the start of the War. In 1942, Leylands weren't available and the production of buses was restricted to Guy and Daimler, whose output was inadequate for the country's requirements. As a result, Ribble received only 12 Daimlers and 46 Guy double decks, all except 8 were fitted with wooden slat seats.
