hiya did not do the job, but what yousaw were bus chassis,s most likely going to Plaxton,s of Blackpool. It still goes on today but they are carried on specialised trailers by a firm called Boules. Aint much good at spelling but best of my knowledge this correct.
Oh sometimes they chassis,s went to Leyland Bus, Cumbria, Workington i think.
