It's probably reasonable to claim that this was the only occasion a former Lancashire United Guy Arab has towed an ex-Darwen Crossley through Grasscroft. The Guy Arab was owned by dealer Geoff Lister and he was towing Darwen 40 (KTD 376) away from Greenfield where it had been stored for thirteen years. 40 was a Crossley DD42/7 which had been cut down and shortened for use as a gritting vehicle. It was acquired by the Crossley Omnibus Society in 1971 and I well remember the journey back with it on the M62. The salt had taken its toll of the vehicle - when we went to collect it, on pressing the throttle pedal to try to start it the pedal broke and the engine had to be controlled by a pressing on a rod sticking through the cab floor!
