X60 Bus - Blackpool Rocks Manchester
'Blackpool Rocks Manchester' is a multi museum event taking place at various places around Manchester on the weekend of 8th and 9th August 2015 to celebrate Manchester's links with the Lancashire seaside resort.
The X60 Manchester to Blackpool long-distance bus service was once the most frequent coach service in the world. At its peak, on summer Saturdays in the 1950's, buses left Manchester every 5 minutes for the 55 mile run to Blackpool. This of course was a time when few people had cars and nobody took cheap package holidays in Spain, let alone Thailand. Blackpool was the holiday destination of choice for people all over the north of England and for many the best way of getting there was on the X60.
As part of the Blackpool themed weekend, the Greater Manchester Museum of Transport added a touch of nostalgia with their own version of the X60 connecting the East Lancashire Railway with Heaton Park, Museum of Transport and Manchester Victoria.
The buses seen are:
Lancashire United bus number 21 built in 1959 - now part of the Manchester Museum of Transport collection.
Stockport Corporation Transport bus number 97 built in 1969 - now part of the Manchester Museum of Transport collection.
