Flashback to 4th July 2012 - it was the Preston Guild Year, and a special livery was produced for two buses which were built and acquired in 1992, the previous Preston Guild (which you may or may not know, happens every 20 years).

Something different happening at the bus station on Sunday 14th July... ‘Conductor – A live choreographed interruption’ by Keith Harrison Buses will be choreographed reversing off stands stands, and filmed to give the impression of 32 buses reversing off the new bus bays simultaneously. The Harris and UCLan have commissioned the filming of artwork to celebrate a ‘Beautiful & Brutal exhibition, 50 years in the life of Preston Bus Station’ Exhibitions will be taking place during 2019 to celebrate the bus station's 50th year.

As you may have heard this morning, the Rotala family has grown, and the First Manchester Weston Street depot at Bolton has been acquired. We join with our Diamond Bus colleagues in welcoming the Bolton staff aboard.
