This Leyland, JP 6968, when it was new was a touring coach with Smiths Tours, Wigan,
who are now Shearings Tours. Stringfellows of Wigan and Atherton acquired it when it
was 6 or 7 years old, and re-bodied it as a furniture and removals van. The picture and
information is courtesy of Norman Higham, former Stringfellows HGV driver. It is seen
here in the TA Centre in Powell Street, Wigan. I am told that with it being a coach
chassis, it was a flying machine. Regards, Ray Smyth.
