Preston Bus 32301 (SK16 GXO) leaving Preston bus station - 25 May 2019 (P1020195)
Saturday 25 May 2019 (0853) – Preston Bus 32301 (SK16 GXO), a Wright Streetlite DF new in April 2016, seen leaving Preston bus station. Preston Bus became part of the Rotala Group in 2011.

Preston’s iconic bus station opened in October 1969 and a leaflet published by Ribble Motor Services for the opening said it was the largest bus station in Britain.

The ground level passenger concourse is topped by a multi-storey car park with each deck featuring upturned fluted curves giving the building a most original look. In 2000 the City Council was planning its demolition to create a new city centre development but objections were raised to that plan and the campaigners successfully managed to obtain Grade II listing thus ensuring the building’s future.
