The building behind the bus was at one time the Belleville Hotel where Peter informs me that he mis-spent many of his teenage hours.
Just look at that blue sky.
Where I live in the East Midlands, I have not seen sky that colour since ???????

Volvo B8RLET / Plaxton Panther LE
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
The LE in the body designation stands for Low Entrance.
A hybrid design offering a low entrance like a bus with a raised rear area like a coach.
I expected this type of bus to be built in some numbers as it seems a natural for operators of long interurban routes, giving them the best of both worlds.
However, I only know of this batch of ten buses that operate on the Edinburgh/Dunfermline corridor.
