Ribble 180 (C180 KHG)

            At least we know it was going to or from London, despite the lack of detail on the display - or was it my camera failing to pick it up ? 

This was one of Ribble's more successful Neoplan / Plaxton 4000s, in that it hadn't burnt out yet, and it was three months old ! In fact, this one never burnt out, like three others in the batch, and they all went on to last over 20 years, although not all of those years were necessarily spent in use with an operator ! I would catch up with this one much later in its life, when it had a year with Rothwell's of Heywood in 2003/4, but I think it may have managed to avoid my camera. Its final owner in 2007 was surely the strangest for any of this type, and I can confidently say that this was the only Plaxton 4000 to operate on a Staffordshire fruit farm !
