At around five o'clock in the 'sixties there would be two buses ready to leave Diggle. One was usually a double-decker which ran to Greenfield King Bill and the other was the normal service bus to Mossley, by then a single-decker. The latter was retimed to run ten minutes later than normal and both were aimed principally at traffic from Hutchinson and Hollingworth's Dobcross Loom Works. That factory shut in 1969 but re-opened by 1971 as W. H. Shaw's pallet works which remained an important local employer for many years and even used to run their own staff buses which appear in another collection in this gallery. This view on the bridge at Diggle station shows a recreation of those workings during the GMTS North Western event on 21st May 1994.
