Bibby's of Ingleton Ltd

Bibby's of Ingleton Ltd The Bibby family have lived and traded in Ingleton for over 100 years. In 1945 Clem Bibby started a milk haulage business delivering milk from farms to dairies.

In 1956 Clem purchased his first coach, a Leyland Comet with a Santus body and rented a site near the centre of the village that was council owned. The vehicles were housed in a disused railway tunnel and a corrugated tin shed. When Clem died in 1962, his son Fred took over the then 5-coach business and over the following 3 years he phased out the milk wagons. The first brand new coach was purchas

ed in 1971 - a Ford R192 with a Duple Viceroy body and by the early eighties the Bibby fleet consisted of 7 Fords, 4 minibuses and the Bedford OB which is still operational today. In 1983 Fred Bibby passed away suddenly which meant his son Peter and daughter Sheila were thrown in the deep end having to take over the business. Over the following years they moved from Fords to Bedfords and Leyland Tigers and today DAF chassis' are favoured. 1n 1998 they purchased their first rear engined coach (SB3000) and with the better luggage space and easier maintenance all coaches purchased thereafter have been rear engine. In 1991 Bibby's moved to a new depot in Ingleton on the Industrial Estate adjacent to the A65. The depot consists of a 3 bay workshop, office, automatic coach wash, diesel tanks and ample car parking space. In 1994 Bibby's purchased two DAF bulk tippers which deliver animal feed around the local area. In 2009 due to increased passenger numbers a brand new departure terminal was built. Passengers arriving at our depot in their car or on a feeder vehicle can use the comfortable facilities whilst waiting for their tour to depart, all under cover. Upstairs there is an extra office and private room for driver training. Currently Bibby's employ around 45 full and part time staff and operate 16 school runs a day, around 200 tours a year and have a busy private hire programme.

Belated sad news to report, we lost the fastest minibus driver in the West!
Rose Ellen was her name but we only ever knew her as Rosalind and always called her "Roz"
Roz was also a dinner lady at Ingleton Primary School and was always smiling and a cheerful lady.
Roz was the only one qualified at one time to drive a car and had to co drive for Jim Davidson, Alan Staveley and Bill Baines.
Roz was one of the lads according to Bill Baines, she used to drive the Bibby's Austin A70 pickup to the market in Bradford and used to bring back the fresh fruit and veg into the 3 x Bibby shops including the Cross Leigh Stores in Austwick formerly Bibby's. Roz would deliver fruit and veg around our corner of the Dales.
She would later driver the school minibuses from Ribblehead to Ingleton schools and Thornton and Masongill to Burton school.
Roz was the only child of Bert (a cousin of Fred) and Doris Bibby, she will be sadly missed by all at Bibby's as she was always a character! 😢

Busy day for vehicle sales at Bibby's as another one sadly leaves the stable. Our first ever Mercedes Tourismo owned from new is off to pastures new. A solid 4 years of touring, never put a foot wrong and still looks the business. Best of luck to Mick & David Gray.
Huge credit goes to its regular pilot Aled Griffith 👏
We are making room for some new additions to our touring fleet (watch this space...) 😉
