The Trust membership scheme currently has almost 300 members who share an interest in Ribble Motor Services and the work we do to preserve the company’s history. The annual subscription is £25 and members receive a full colour magazine four times a year as well as access to our members Facebook page and the chance to participate in our work.
You can apply for membership by completing the application form via the Contact Page
As well as supporting our overall aims members also have the chance to work directly with the Trust. A whole range of opportunities awaits – some members work regularly at our depot on vehicle preparation, regular maintenance and vehicle restoration. We have plenty of tasks for those with specific skills and those who help in a more general way. Others help out at events by conducting on the bus service, carrying out marshalling, talking to visitors. There’s plenty of enjoyment as well as hard work and a lot of satisfaction in helping a restoration project to completion or successfully delivering a major event.
If you would like to know more and possibly take a look around do get in touch.
Trident ‘White Lady’ 17012
Reg: S812 BWC
Chassis: Dennis Trident
Body: Alexander ALX400
Built: 1999
17012 was delivered to the Stagecoach London fleet and later transferred to the northwest for services in the Lancaster area. By 2017 it had been converted to partial open top and was given a special livery by Best Impressions which reflected the traditional Ribble White Lady buses. Upon withdrawal it was acquired by RVPT and has been a regular performer at our
events.
