‘Scene’, Down Memory Lane with ‘ARRIVA Midlands’ (AM) 2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The arrival of a New Year brings with it fresh challenges. I wish you all that you would wish yourselves but particularly Good Health.

 

To continue, an occasional series which came about when I was looking through my collection of images for something else and this selection turned up.

 

In the early days due to the number of operators who formed the group, the fleet was a mixture of types amalgamated by the livery. 

 

It was plain, simple and some said boring.

 

I liked it so here are some examples of how it looked.
