‘Scene’ By Peter Rose in Mansfield on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Friend Peter, a Mansfield lad by birth, has forwarded a selection of images which, with his consent, I am pleased to be able to share with you.

 

Apart from his excellent portrait images, he has a known liking for ‘images In the environment’.

 

Or, as I call it, buses with a twist.

‘Scene’ in Wolverhampton ‘WEST MIDLANDS TRAVEL LTD. 1’ on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

A day out train and tram riding in the West Midlands took friend Peter Rose and myself into pastures new recently when the transport delights of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and West Bromwich were explored.

 

As we have done before, we have combined all the images we gathered on the day. 

 

The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.

 

Most buses are named using people’s forenames which reflect the ethnic diversity of the area.

 

The choice of names are suggestions put forward by employees of ‘national express West Midlands’ together with some from the general public.

 

I think that is a nice touch because people of all ages will be happy to ride on ‘their’ bus.

 

 

53 ‘West Midlands Metro’.

CAF Urbos 100, Zaragoza, Spain

on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk

 

Quite an impressive operation except when a signals failure south of Wolverhampton forced us to catch a packed bus back towards West Bromwich.

 

At the Wolverhampton terminus, the driver enjoys the sunshine whilst he walks the length of the tram before heading back into Birmingham.

 

The area adjacent to the tram terminus has a number of bus stops which were quite busy.

 

Behind he camera, a short walk and a left turn takes you to an excellent bus station which is even busier.

‘Scene’ on a PSV Circle Organised Visit. Manchester City Centre on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The PSV Circle (of which I have been a member for some years) aims to hold an Annual General Meeting in a different location in the UK every year.

 

Usually held at a weekend, they also include visits to operators and other bus related venues for the attending members to visit and enjoy.

 

This year, the location being in the North West of England centred on the Holiday Inn Express, Preston.

 

Friend Peter Rose joined me for what turned out to be a sometimes wet, but very enjoyable weekend.

 

As we have done before, we have combined all the images we have gathered. 

 

The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.

 

Our lunch break was taken in Manchester City Centre where for a few minutes, it was fine and sunny.

 

For the rest of the hour it poured with rain so we sat in Chorlton Street Coach Station and watched the rain run down the windows.

‘Scene’ in Burton-on-Trent (BoT) again on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

It is now just over a year (August 3rd. 2022) since the takeover of ‘Midland Classic’ was completed by the ‘ROTALA’ group, rebranding the company ‘Diamond Bus (East Midlands) Ltd’.

 

On 09/08/2023 I posted a blog built around friend Peter Rose’s images of the fleet additions since that time.

 

All of course in ‘ROTALA’ blue.

 

This blog illustrates a return to BoT by both of us to look at some of what is left of the ‘Midland Classic’ fleet.

 

Will any of them ever be painted blue??

 

As we have done before, we have combined all the images we gathered on the day.

Today, the company operates over 100 vehicles out of three separate bases in the area.

 

‘Tyrers’ provided the transport for our second morning until lunchtime, which was taken in Manchester.

A new event organised by the ‘Nottingham Heritage Vehicles Charity’ (NHVC) who are based in the old TRENT garage at Hucknall, Nottinghamshire.

 

Friend Peter Rose and I ventured to the ‘Peak Rail’ site at Rowsley railway station in Derbyshire where the event was held.

 

As we have done before, we have combined all the images we gathered on the day.

To mark the centenary of this much missed operator, both ‘Stagecoach Manchester’ and ‘Hulleys of Baslow’ have painted buses in appropriate NWRCC liveries.

 

It was a shame that the Hulleys vehicle could not have made the short journey from nearby Baslow to join it!

 

As a young bus enthusiast living in Sheffield, the appearance of NWRCC buses working into the Peak District in their distinctive red and cream livery was always a treat to be savoured.
