Back home

Just started work. This was parked up outside the bus station. I believe it was an old glossop bus and finished up at tameside then hyde road. Just had a good look around it. Seems in very good condition too. I had seen pictures of it on facebook before but it's nice to see it in the flesh. Brings back memories of childhood lol.

    Number on side doesn't match number on front.
    Nice bus however.

    Most buses back then had different numbers on the side and back, the problem was when the driver was changing the service number he would have to change them at the side and back of the bus. The more modern Scania's and Dennis Dominators GM Buses bought had dot matrix side and back displays so they could be changed inside the cab with just one switch.

    It is a nice bus though and looks great with its new paint job, Mark's done a good job restoring it.
