I received this e-mail today. I thought it might be of interest.
Hi Colin,
Hope all is well. Some sad news from Harrogate.
Ex Road Car staff might remember Nigel Jolliffe who held various management positions in the mid and late 80s. He left the company about 1990 (ish), at the time he was Managing Director for York and Harrogate. He left when York was sold to Rider (I think I have got this right!).
Nigel returned to Harrogate as a driver about 6 years ago. Sadly he was taken ill last week and died on Sunday. His funeral is at Stonefall Cemetary in Harrogate at 12.20 on Monday 5th July. There is a bus going from Harrogate bus station at 11.40am.
Cheers, and best wishes
Daniel
Union Chair, Harrogate

Last Day...Hammerton Steet Depot

Last Day...Hammerton Steet Depot

In the file attached this shows John Welch (Depot Engineer) and Norman Parker (Operations Manager) about to shake hands as Norman and his wife board one of the last buses to leave the Depot. John then had the job with the storeman (in brown coat) to replace all the legal lettering on former WYRCC buses to include the Swinegate address in Leeds covering East Parade Harrogate as the operator licence address.
