On Tuesday the 15/02/2022, I posted a blog titled ‘Scene’ in Chesterfield yet again.
When I was researching and writing the comments I realised that the fifth image, a Dennis Dart / Plaxton Pointer in the colours of ‘Hulleys of Baslow’ rang a bell somewhere at the back of my memory.
I hope that you will appreciate that with a collection of many thousands of images that tying one or two down to some distant point in the past is not always easy.
However,
This is what I posted on the 15th and the comment I made then which was,
PX05 EKW ‘Hulleys of Baslow’ No. 24.

“New to ‘Stagecoach North West’ as No. 34687 but it was acquired from ‘Stagecoach South West’.”
Therein was a clue.
In October 2013, My wife and I had a holiday in Cumbria where I managed to get a couple of hours taking photos in Carlisle.
PX05 EKW in ‘Stagecoach in Carlisle’ colours was one of the images I took on that day.
PX05 EKW ‘Stagecoach in Carlisle’ No. 34687.

Fast forward to February 2017 when we were on holiday in Plymouth and some of the same batch of buses were working there including I believe
PX05 EKW.
Although I wasn’t able to get a picture of it, I did get one of the batch.
This one.
The comments I made at the time are repeated here.
“ I know that operators move buses around the various fleets within their group for a variety of reasons. I do wonder though about the economics of the exercise.
This particular bus, seen in Plymouth was photographed in Carlisle by me nearly 4 years ago.
According to Google maps, Carlisle is 388 miles away.”
