From time to time, I showcase the work of friends where I think that what they have produced might be enjoyed by a wider audience than they might otherwise get.
This short blog features the work of Paul Toon and Peter Wilson who are sometimes on the lookout for something that might be of interest to me and others.
Of course they have granted me permission to use their images.
YJ16 DZO ‘Littles’ of Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Optare Solo M9250SR

New to ‘Webberbus’ in Somerset to whom it was delivered as part of a small batch of buses in the basic livery seen in this image.
‘Webberbus’ have a history dating back over 50 years but like many more independent operators ceased trading in their case in 2016.
The bus with others of its type and livery moved on to ‘Cumfybus’. An operator based on Merseyside from whom it passed with others in the batch to ‘CT4N’ (Community Transport for Nottingham).
It only joined ‘Littles’ in the last few months and was pictured in Belper, Derbyshire by Paul Toon.

New in 1946 to ‘Silver Service’, Darley Dale, Derbyshire in a silver and blue livery as No. 4.
It was also with ‘Burton’ of Alfreton, Derbyshire where it gained its current livery which is very nicely done.
‘Burton’ are still operating today (August 2019) using the same colour scheme.
Wether it is just coincidence but the former ‘Burton on Trent Corporation’s livery was maroon & cream………
See my blog posted 22/02/2018 for an example.
