Subject: Travis KSF 989N
Chassis: Ford R1114
Body: Duple Dominant C53F
Location: Scouthead Filling Station
Date: unknown

An obvious identification of this operator would be Travis of Middleton, but they always showed their fleetname as “Travis’s”, so I am not clear on the operator of this coach. As it is carrying the Stalybridge Band a Middleton operator would be an unlikely choice and I believe it could possibly be operating for Travis of Droylsden. This Ford was new to White of Mayfield (Dalkeith).
