Buses Festival, Peterborough - 8 Aug 2021 (P1090360)

Sunday 8 August 2021 – The ‘Buses Festival’ rally held at the East of England Showground, Peterborough.

The Todmorden Joint Omnibus Committee was a bus undertaking owned jointly by Todmorden Corporation initially in partnership with the London Midland and Scottish Railway Company (1931-1947). After the nationalisation of railways the partner became British Railways (from 1947).

Preserved HWY 36, a Leyland bodied Leyland PD2 /1 was new in January 1950 and was one of the vehicles owned by Todmorden Corporation. Prior to 1947 the total bus fleet saw shared ownership but from 1947 each partner owned their own individual buses to an equal number.
