A 55-year-old Leyland bus was parked in Victoria Square for Bolton Bus Preservation Group’s annual summer visit to the town centre.
The 1963 Leyland Atlantean, which lives in Bury Transport Museum, was in front of Bolton Town Hall with nine volunteers selling antique transport-related paraphernalia outside.
Team leader Aidan Anderson, aged 47, said: “We like to fly the flag of the town’s transport history.”
Mr Anderson, who works for Network Rail in Preston, said the senior generation like to see the old buses. He said: “A lot of people went to school on them, a lot of people worked on them.”
The group owns five buses, including a 1959 Leyland Titan in need of restoration. The next stop for the bus is Heaton Park on September 2 for the Trans Lancs Rally.
