The registration appears to be 434BTE, the fleet number 17, which would make it Darwen 17, a Crossley Regent V with East Lancs body new in 1957. It later became part of the Blackburn fleet. http://shootingthepast.fotopic.net/p27357137.html shows it as Darwen 17 http://shootingthepast.fotopic.net/p27439926.html is a picture of it as Blackburn 20 I'd really like to find a rear view!
