W C Standerwick Ltd had been a successful coach operator based in Blackpool until it was taken over by the Ribble Motor Services in 1932. Ribble continued to run the Standerwick fleet as its coaching arm between its HQ in Preston in the North West of England and London throughout the '50s and '60s, with destinations such as Dunstable, Coventry and Birmingham along the way.

Leyland was one of their preferred manufacturers and here we see the Royal Tiger in the eye-catching Standerwick livery of cream with red roof heading for London, registered EFV 617. Its other destinations are printed along the top of the windows below the roofline on both sides of the coach. Gold lettering behind the front nearside wheel details the company's contact details, its 41 seater capacity and its speed limit of just 30 mph.
