Stevensons 10, Uttoxeter Bus Station, c1973

            New in 1958, this former Lancashire United, Metro-Cammell bodied Leyland PD3 was long lived in the Stevenson's fleet. 

The bus was acquired by Stevenson's in circa 1971, lasting into c1981/2 before passing to Lister (dealer) Bolton. From there it was from memory one of the buses saved from Lister's by the British Bus Preservation Group (BBPG), and parked in a field on a farm in the North West in the 1990s. 

BBPG member and Crossley fanatic Norman Myers, was involved with this venture. Norman worked as a lorry driver for Lynx Express (formerly British Road Services), and put a lot of his money into saving old buses and the consequential storage costs. I seem to recall that Norman had dealings with the farmer, but stand to be corrected. Tragically Norman passed away very suddenly in the late '90s, and this threw a big spanner into the works. From here on some of the buses once saved by the BBPG and stored on the farm remained there and were left to rot; 564FTF was one of them.

The bus had received some initial work and had been put back into LUT red, but after all these years it must be in a state of collapse if it survives.
